29 **bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
30 Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
31 parameters, such as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call,
32 JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
33 functions availability, and more.
35 By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for
36 **bpf_probe_write_user**\ () and **bpf_trace_printk**\()
37 helpers which print warnings to kernel logs. To enable them
38 and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.
40 If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
41 passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
42 **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
43 header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
44 used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
45 as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
46 avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
47 this command as a header file.
49 Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
50 specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
52 When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump
53 only the features available to a user who does not have the
54 **CAP_SYS_ADMIN** capability set. The features available in
55 that case usually represent a small subset of the parameters
56 supported by the system. Unprivileged users MUST use the
57 **unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
58 bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This
59 keyword is unavailable if bpftool was compiled without
62 **bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
63 Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump
64 results to the console.
66 The keywords **full**, **macros** and **prefix** have the
67 same role as when probing the kernel.
69 **bpftool feature help**
70 Print short help message.
