NAME

SYNOPSIS

          bpftool [OPTIONS] btf COMMAND

          OPTIONS := { { -j | --json } [{ -p | --pretty }] | { -d | --debug } | { -B | --base-btf
          } }

          COMMANDS := { dump | help }

BTF COMMANDS

       bpftool btf { show | list } [id BTF_ID]
       bpftool btf dump BTF_SRC [format FORMAT]
       bpftool btf help

       BTF_SRC := { id BTF_ID | prog PROG | map MAP [{key | value | kv | all}] | file FILE }
       FORMAT := { raw | c }

       PROG := { id PROG_ID | pinned FILE | tag PROG_TAG }

DESCRIPTION

          bpftool btf { show | list } [id BTF_ID]
                 Show information about loaded BTF objects.  If  a  BTF  ID  is  specified,  show
                 information  only  about  given  BTF  object,  otherwise  list  all  BTF objects
                 currently loaded on the system.

                 Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover  information  about  processes  that
                 hold  open  file  descriptors (FDs) against BTF objects. On such kernels bpftool
                 will automatically emit this information as well.

          bpftool btf dump BTF_SRC
                 Dump BTF entries from a given BTF_SRC.

                 When id is specified, BTF object with that ID will be loaded  and  all  its  BTF
                 types emitted.

                 When  map is provided, it's expected that map has associated BTF object with BTF
                 types describing key and value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
                 type(s)  associated  with  key (key), value (value), both key and value (kv), or
                 all BTF types present in associated BTF object (all). If not  specified,  kv  is
                 assumed.

                 When prog is provided, it's expected that program has associated BTF object with
                 BTF types.

                 When specifying FILE, an ELF file is  expected,  containing  .BTF  section  with
                 well-defined BTF binary format data, typically produced by clang or pahole.

                 format  option can be used to override default (raw) output format. Raw (raw) or
                 C-syntax (c) output formats are supported.

          bpftool btf help
                 Print short help message.

OPTIONS

          -h, --help
                 Print short help message (similar to bpftool help).

          -V, --version
                 Print bpftool's version number (similar to bpftool version), the number  of  the
                 libbpf version in use, and optional features that were included when bpftool was
                 compiled. Optional features include linking against LLVM or  libbfd  to  provide
                 the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftool prog dump jited) and usage of BPF
                 skeletons (some features like bpftool prog profile or showing pids associated to
                 BPF objects may rely on it).

          -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.

          -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.

          -B, --base-btf FILE
                 Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used with BTF objects for
                 kernel modules. To avoid duplicating all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF
                 objects  for  modules  are  "split",  they are built incrementally on top of the
                 kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference should usually  point  to
                 the kernel BTF.

                 When  the  main  BTF  object to process (for example, the module BTF to dump) is
                 passed as a FILE, bpftool attempts to autodetect the path for the  base  object,
                 and  passing this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed through
                 other handles, this option becomes necessary.

EXAMPLES

       # bpftool btf dump id 1226

          [1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=2
          [2] STRUCT 'dummy_tracepoint_args' size=16 vlen=2
                  'pad' type_id=3 bits_offset=0
                  'sock' type_id=4 bits_offset=64
          [3] INT 'long long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
          [4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=5
          [5] FWD 'sock' fwd_kind=union

       This gives an example of default output for all supported BTF kinds.

       The following commands print BTF types associated with specified map's  key,  value,  both
       key  and value, and all BTF types, respectively. By default, both key and value types will
       be printed.

       # bpftool btf dump map id 123 key
