29 **bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**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 If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
36 passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
37 **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
38 header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
39 used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
40 as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
41 avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
42 this command as a header file.
44 Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
45 specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.
47 Note that when probed, some eBPF helpers (e.g.
48 **bpf_trace_printk**\ () or **bpf_probe_write_user**\ ()) may
49 print warnings to kernel logs.
51 **bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
52 Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump
53 results to the console.
55 The two keywords **macros** and **prefix** have the same
56 role as when probing the kernel.
58 **bpftool feature help**
59 Print short help message.
64 Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
67 Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
70 Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
74 Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
