56DESCRIPTION
57===========
58 **bpftool map { show | list }** [*MAP*]
59 Show information about loaded maps. If *MAP* is specified
60 show information only about given maps, otherwise list all
61 maps currently loaded on the system. In case of **name**,
62 *MAP* may match several maps which will all be shown.
63
64 Output will start with map ID followed by map type and
65 zero or more named attributes (depending on kernel version).
66
67 Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
68 processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BPF
69 maps. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
70 information as well.
71
72 **bpftool map create** *FILE* **type** *TYPE* **key** *KEY_SIZE* **value** *VALUE_SIZE* **entries** *MAX_ENTRIES* **name** *NAME* [**flags** *FLAGS*] [**inner_map** *MAP*] [**dev** *NAME*]
73 Create a new map with given parameters and pin it to *bpffs*
74 as *FILE*.
75
76 *FLAGS* should be an integer which is the combination of
77 desired flags, e.g. 1024 for **BPF_F_MMAPABLE** (see bpf.h
78 UAPI header for existing flags).
79
80 To create maps of type array-of-maps or hash-of-maps, the
81 **inner_map** keyword must be used to pass an inner map. The
82 kernel needs it to collect metadata related to the inner maps
83 that the new map will work with.
84
85 Keyword **dev** expects a network interface name, and is used
86 to request hardware offload for the map.
87
88 **bpftool map dump** *MAP*
89 Dump all entries in a given *MAP*. In case of **name**,
90 *MAP* may match several maps which will all be dumped.
91
92 **bpftool map update** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*] [**value** *VALUE*] [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
93 Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
94
95 *UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
96 or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
97 exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
98
99 If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
100 sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadecimal values, even if
101 no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
102 the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
103 (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
104
105 **bpftool map lookup** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
106 Lookup **key** in the map.
107
108 **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
109 Get next key. If *key* is not specified, get first key.
110
111 **bpftool map delete** *MAP* **key** *DATA*
112 Remove entry from the map.
113
114 **bpftool map pin** *MAP* *FILE*
115 Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
116
117 Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
118 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
119 extensions of *bpffs*.
120
121 **bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
122 Read events from a **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY** map.
123
124 Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
125 output of any **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () call in the kernel.
126 By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
127 install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
128 in the array.
129
130 If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
131 for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
132
133 Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
134 replace any existing ring. Any other application will stop
135 receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
136
137 **bpftool map peek** *MAP*
138 Peek next value in the queue or stack.
139
140 **bpftool map push** *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
141 Push *VALUE* onto the stack.
142
143 **bpftool map pop** *MAP*
144 Pop and print value from the stack.
145
146 **bpftool map enqueue** *MAP* **value** *VALUE*
147 Enqueue *VALUE* into the queue.
148
149 **bpftool map dequeue** *MAP*
150 Dequeue and print value from the queue.
151
152 **bpftool map freeze** *MAP*
153 Freeze the map as read-only from user space. Entries from a
154 frozen map can not longer be updated or deleted with the
155 **bpf**\ () system call. This operation is not reversible,
156 and the map remains immutable from user space until its
157 destruction. However, read and write permissions for BPF
158 programs to the map remain unchanged.
159
160 **bpftool map help**
161 Print short help message.

219
220Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
221hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
222programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
223entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
224defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
225to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
226processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
227file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
228array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
229would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).

73
74 *FLAGS* should be an integer which is the combination of
75 desired flags, e.g. 1024 for **BPF_F_MMAPABLE** (see bpf.h
76 UAPI header for existing flags).
77
78 Keyword **dev** expects a network interface name, and is used
79 to request hardware offload for the map.

97

99 Lookup **key** in the map.
100
101 **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]

107 **bpftool map pin** *MAP* *FILE*
108 Pin map *MAP* as *FILE*.
109
110 Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
111 contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future

113
114 **bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
115 Read events from a **BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY** map.
116
117 Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
118 output of any **bpf_perf_event_output**\ () call in the kernel.
119 By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
120 install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
121 in the array.
122
123 If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
124 for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
125

148 **bpf**\ () system call. This operation is not reversible,

150 destruction. However, read and write permissions for BPF
151 programs to the map remain unchanged.

225Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
226hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
227programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
228entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
229defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
230to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
231processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
232file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
233array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
234would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
