DESCRIPTION
===========
	**bpftool prog { show | list }** [*PROG*]
		  Show information about loaded programs.  If *PROG* is
		  specified show information only about given program, otherwise
		  list all programs currently loaded on the system.

		  Output will start with program ID followed by program type and
		  zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).

		  Since Linux 5.1 the kernel can collect statistics on BPF
		  programs (such as the total time spent running the program,
		  and the number of times it was run). If available, bpftool
		  shows such statistics. However, the kernel does not collect
		  them by defaults, as it slightly impacts performance on each
		  program run. Activation or deactivation of the feature is
		  performed via the **kernel.bpf_stats_enabled** sysctl knob.

	**bpftool prog dump xlated** *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **visual** | **linum** }]
		  Dump eBPF instructions of the program from the kernel. By
		  default, eBPF will be disassembled and printed to standard
		  output in human-readable format. In this case, **opcodes**
		  controls if raw opcodes should be printed as well.

		  If **file** is specified, the binary image will instead be
		  written to *FILE*.

		  If **visual** is specified, control flow graph (CFG) will be
		  built instead, and eBPF instructions will be presented with
		  CFG in DOT format, on standard output.

		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
		  displayed on top of the source line.

	**bpftool prog dump jited**  *PROG* [{ **file** *FILE* | **opcodes** | **linum** }]
		  Dump jited image (host machine code) of the program.
		  If *FILE* is specified image will be written to a file,
		  otherwise it will be disassembled and printed to stdout.

		  **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.

		  If the prog has line_info available, the source line will
		  be displayed by default.  If **linum** is specified,
		  the filename, line number and line column will also be
		  displayed on top of the source line.

	**bpftool prog pin** *PROG* *FILE*
		  Pin program *PROG* as *FILE*.

		  Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
		  extensions of *bpffs*.

	**bpftool prog { load | loadall }** *OBJ* *PATH* [**type** *TYPE*] [**map** {**idx** *IDX* | **name** *NAME*} *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*] [**pinmaps** *MAP_DIR*]
		  Load bpf program(s) from binary *OBJ* and pin as *PATH*.
		  **bpftool prog load** pins only the first program from the
		  *OBJ* as *PATH*. **bpftool prog loadall** pins all programs
		  from the *OBJ* under *PATH* directory.
		  **type** is optional, if not specified program type will be
		  inferred from section names.
		  By default bpftool will create new maps as declared in the ELF
		  object being loaded.  **map** parameter allows for the reuse
		  of existing maps.  It can be specified multiple times, each
		  time for a different map.  *IDX* refers to index of the map
		  to be replaced in the ELF file counting from 0, while *NAME*
		  allows to replace a map by name.  *MAP* specifies the map to
		  use, referring to it by **id** or through a **pinned** file.
		  If **dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto
		  given networking device (offload).
		  Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all
		  maps under *MAP_DIR* directory.

		  Note: *PATH* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
		  contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
		  extensions of *bpffs*.

	**bpftool prog attach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
		  Attach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
		  attached to current networking name space.

	**bpftool prog detach** *PROG* *ATTACH_TYPE* [*MAP*]
		  Detach bpf program *PROG* (with type specified by
		  *ATTACH_TYPE*). Most *ATTACH_TYPEs* require a *MAP*
		  parameter, with the exception of *flow_dissector* which is
		  detached from the current networking name space.

	**bpftool prog tracelog**
		  Dump the trace pipe of the system to the console (stdout).
		  Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop printing. BPF programs can write to this
		  trace pipe at runtime with the **bpf_trace_printk()** helper.
		  This should be used only for debugging purposes. For
		  streaming data from BPF programs to user space, one can use
		  perf events (see also **bpftool-map**\ (8)).

	**bpftool prog run** *PROG* **data_in** *FILE* [**data_out** *FILE* [**data_size_out** *L*]] [**ctx_in** *FILE* [**ctx_out** *FILE* [**ctx_size_out** *M*]]] [**repeat** *N*]
		  Run BPF program *PROG* in the kernel testing infrastructure
		  for BPF, meaning that the program works on the data and
		  context provided by the user, and not on actual packets or
		  monitored functions etc. Return value and duration for the
		  test run are printed out to the console.

		  Input data is read from the *FILE* passed with **data_in**.
		  If this *FILE* is "**-**", input data is read from standard
		  input. Input context, if any, is read from *FILE* passed with
		  **ctx_in**. Again, "**-**" can be used to read from standard
		  input, but only if standard input is not already in use for
		  input data. If a *FILE* is passed with **data_out**, output
		  data is written to that file. Similarly, output context is
		  written to the *FILE* passed with **ctx_out**. For both
		  output flows, "**-**" can be used to print to the standard
		  output (as plain text, or JSON if relevant option was
		  passed). If output keywords are omitted, output data and
		  context are discarded. Keywords **data_size_out** and
		  **ctx_size_out** are used to pass the size (in bytes) for the
		  output buffers to the kernel, although the default of 32 kB
		  should be more than enough for most cases.

		  Keyword **repeat** is used to indicate the number of
		  consecutive runs to perform. Note that output data and
		  context printed to files correspond to the last of those
		  runs. The duration printed out at the end of the runs is an
		  average over all runs performed by the command.

		  Not all program types support test run. Among those which do,
		  not all of them can take the **ctx_in**/**ctx_out**
		  arguments. bpftool does not perform checks on program types.

	**bpftool prog help**
		  Print short help message.

OPTIONS
=======
	-h, --help
		  Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).

	-V, --version
		  Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).

	-j, --json
		  Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
		  option has no effect.

	-p, --pretty
		  Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.

	-f, --bpffs
		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
		  programs.

	-m, --mapcompat
		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.

	-n, --nomount
		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.

	-d, --debug
		  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
		  includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
		  attempting to load programs.
