DESCRIPTION

24          bpftool feature probe [kernel] [macros [prefix PREFIX]]
25                 Probe the running kernel and dump a  number  of  eBPF-related
26                 parameters,  such  as  availability of the bpf() system call,
27                 JIT status, eBPF  program  types  availability,  eBPF  helper
28                 functions availability, and more.
29
30                 If  the  macros  keyword (but not the -j option) is passed, a
31                 subset of the output is dumped as a list  of  #define  macros
32                 that  are  ready to be included in a C header file, for exam‐
33                 ple. If, additionally, prefix is used to define a PREFIX, the
34                 provided  string will be used as a prefix to the names of the
35                 macros: this can be used to avoid conflicts  on  macro  names
36                 when including the output of this command as a header file.
37
38                 Keyword  kernel  can be omitted. If no probe target is speci‐
39                 fied, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
40
41                 Note   that   when   probed,   some   eBPF   helpers    (e.g.
42                 bpf_trace_printk() or bpf_probe_write_user()) may print warn‐
43                 ings to kernel logs.
44
45          bpftool feature probe dev NAME [macros [prefix PREFIX]]
46                 Probe network device for supported  eBPF  features  and  dump
47                 results to the console.
48
49                 The two keywords macros and prefix have the same role as when
50                 probing the kernel.
51
52          bpftool feature help
53                 Print short help message.
54

OPTIONS

56          -h, --help
57                 Print short generic help message (similar to bpftool help).
58
59          -v, --version
60                 Print version number (similar to bpftool version).
61
62          -j, --json
63                 Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce  JSON,
64                 this option has no effect.
65
66          -p, --pretty
67                 Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.
