NAME¶

bps - List all BPF programs. 'ps' for BPF programs.

SYNOPSIS¶

bps [bpf-prog-id]

DESCRIPTION¶

bps lists all BPF programs loaded into the kernel. It is similar to the ps command but for the BPF programs.

Each loaded bpf program is identified by an unique integer (i.e. bpf-prog-id or simply BID). If a bpf-prog-id is specified, the maps used by bpf-prog-id will also be listed.

EXAMPLES¶

List all BPF programs loaded into the kernel:

bps

Show the details and maps of BID 6:

UID

The user ID that loaded the BPF program.

#MAPS

Total number of maps used by a BPF program.

LoadTime

When was the BPF program loaded?

NAME

The name of a BPF program. The user space library (like bcc ) usually uses the C function name of the original BPF's source code as the program name. It could be empty if the user space did not provide a name.

KeySz

The key size of a BPF map.

ValueSz

The value size of a BPF map.

MaxEnts

The maximum number of entries of a map.
