+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+bpftool prog { show | list } [*PROG*]
+ Show information about loaded programs. If *PROG* is specified show
+ information only about given programs, otherwise list all programs
+ currently loaded on the system. In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may
+ match several programs which will all be shown.
+
+ 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.
+
+ Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about processes
+ that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF programs. On such kernels
+ bpftool will automatically emit this information as well.
+
+bpftool prog dump xlated *PROG* [{ file *FILE* | [opcodes] [linum] [visual] }]
+ Dump eBPF instructions of the programs 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.
+
+ In case of **tag** or **name**, *PROG* may match several programs which
+ will all be dumped. However, if **file** or **visual** is specified,
+ *PROG* must match a single program.
+
+ 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 programs have line_info available, the source line will be
+ displayed. If **linum** is specified, the filename, line number and line
+ column will also be displayed.
+
+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. *PROG* must match a single program
+ when **file** is specified.
+
+ **opcodes** controls if raw opcodes will be printed.
+
+ If the prog has line_info available, the source line will be displayed. If
+ **linum** is specified, the filename, line number and line column will also
+ be displayed.
+
+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*] [{ offload_dev | xdpmeta_dev } *NAME*] [pinmaps *MAP_DIR*] [autoattach] [kernel_btf *BTF_FILE*]
+ 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
+ **offload_dev** *NAME* is specified program will be loaded onto given
+ networking device (offload). If **xdpmeta_dev** *NAME* is specified program
+ will become device-bound without offloading, this facilitates access to XDP
+ metadata. Optional **pinmaps** argument can be provided to pin all maps
+ under *MAP_DIR* directory.
+
+ If **autoattach** is specified program will be attached before pin. In that
+ case, only the link (representing the program attached to its hook) is
+ pinned, not the program as such, so the path won't show in **bpftool prog
+ show -f**, only show in **bpftool link show -f**. Also, this only works
+ when bpftool (libbpf) is able to infer all necessary information from the
+ object file, in particular, it's not supported for all program types. If a
+ program does not support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
+ for that program instead.
+
+ The **kernel_btf** option allows specifying an external BTF file to replace
+ the system's own vmlinux BTF file for CO-RE relocations. Note that any
+ other feature relying on BTF (such as fentry/fexit programs, struct_ops)
+ requires the BTF file for the actual kernel running on the host, often
+ exposed at /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux.
+
+ 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 tracelog { stdout | stderr } *PROG*
+ Dump the BPF stream of the program. BPF programs can write to these streams
+ at runtime with the **bpf_stream_vprintk_impl**\ () kfunc. The kernel may write
+ error messages to the standard error stream. This facility should be used
+ only for debugging purposes.
+
+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 profile *PROG* [duration *DURATION*] *METRICs*
+ Profile *METRICs* for bpf program *PROG* for *DURATION* seconds or until
+ user hits <Ctrl+C>. *DURATION* is optional. If *DURATION* is not specified,
+ the profiling will run up to **UINT_MAX** seconds.
+
+bpftool prog help
+ Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+.. include:: common_options.rst
+
+-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.
+
+-L, --use-loader
+ Load program as a "loader" program. This is useful to debug the generation
+ of such programs. When this option is in use, bpftool attempts to load the
+ programs from the object file into the kernel, but does not pin them
+ (therefore, the *PATH* must not be provided).
+
+ When combined with the **-d**\ \|\ **--debug** option, additional debug
+ messages are generated, and the execution of the loader program will use
+ the **bpf_trace_printk**\ () helper to log each step of loading BTF,
+ creating the maps, and loading the programs (see **bpftool prog tracelog**
+ as a way to dump those messages).
+
+-S, --sign
+ Enable signing of the BPF program before loading. This option must be
+ used with **-k** and **-i**. Using this flag implicitly enables
+ **--use-loader**.
+
+-k <private_key.pem>
+ Path to the private key file in PEM format, required when signing.
+
+-i <certificate.x509>
+ Path to the X.509 certificate file in PEM or DER format, required when
+ signing.
