   2  * Minimal BPF assembler
   3  *
   4  * Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
   5  * useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
   6  * close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
   7  * In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
   8  * just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
   9  * not supported by compilers.
  10  *
  11  * How to get into it:
  12  *
  13  * 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.txt
  14  * 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
  15  *    blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
  16  *    pretty print a C-like construct.
