[PATCH v3 bpf-next 9/9] tools/bpftool: add documentation and sample output for process info

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add statements about bpftool being able to discover process info, holding
reference to BPF map, prog, link, or BTF. Show example output as well.
