SYNOPSIS | ||
======== | ||
|
||
**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **btf** *COMMAND* | ||
|
||
*OPTIONS* := { { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] } | ||
|
||
*COMMANDS* := { **dump** | **help** } | ||
|
||
BTF COMMANDS | ||
============= | ||
|
||
| **bpftool** **btf dump** *BTF_SRC* | ||
| **bpftool** **btf help** | ||
| | ||
| *BTF_SRC* := { **id** *BTF_ID* | **prog** *PROG* | **map** *MAP* [{**key** | **value** | **kv** | **all**}] | **file** *FILE* } | ||
| *MAP* := { **id** *MAP_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* } | ||
| *PROG* := { **id** *PROG_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* | **tag** *PROG_TAG* } | ||
DESCRIPTION | ||
=========== | ||
**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. | ||
|
||
**bpftool btf help** | ||
Print short help message. | ||
|
||
OPTIONS | ||
======= | ||
-h, --help | ||
Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**). | ||
|
||
-V, --version | ||
Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**). | ||
|
||
-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**. | ||
|
||
EXAMPLES | ||
======== | ||
**# bpftool btf dump id 1226** | ||
:: | ||
|
||
[1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=2 | ||
[2] STRUCT 'dummy_tracepoint_args' size=16 vlen=2 | ||

[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** | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
[39] TYPEDEF 'u32' type_id=37 | ||

||
**# bpftool btf dump map id 123 value** | ||

||

|
||
**# bpftool btf dump map id 123 kv** | ||

||
[39] TYPEDEF 'u32' type_id=37 | ||

|
||
:: | ||

[1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=0 | ||
. | ||
. | ||
. | ||
[2866] ARRAY '(anon)' type_id=52 index_type_id=51 nr_elems=4 | ||
|
||
All the standard ways to specify map or program are supported: | ||
|
||
**# bpftool btf dump map id 123** | ||
|
||
**# bpftool btf dump map pinned /sys/fs/bpf/map_name** | ||
|
||
**# bpftool btf dump prog id 456** | ||
|
||
**# bpftool btf dump prog tag b88e0a09b1d9759d** | ||
|
||
**# bpftool btf dump prog pinned /sys/fs/bpf/prog_name** | ||
