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

218Note that map update can also be used in order to change the program references
219hold by a program array map. This can be used, for example, to change the
220programs used for tail-call jumps at runtime, without having to reload the
221entry-point program. Below is an example for this use case: we load a program
222defining a prog array map, and with a main function that contains a tail call
223to other programs that can be used either to "process" packets or to "debug"
224processing. Note that the prog array map MUST be pinned into the BPF virtual
225file system for the map update to work successfully, as kernel flushes prog
226array maps when they have no more references from user space (and the update
227would be lost as soon as bpftool exits).
