  *	Description
  *		Iterate and fetch multiple elements in a map.
  *
+ *		Two opaque values are used to manage batch operations,
+ *		*in_batch* and *out_batch*. Initially, *in_batch* must be set
+ *		to NULL to begin the batched operation. After each subsequent
+ *		**BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH**, the caller should pass the resultant
+ *		*out_batch* as the *in_batch* for the next operation to
+ *		continue iteration from the current point.
+ *
+ *		The *keys* and *values* are output parameters which must point
+ *		to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
+ *		and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be
+ *		of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of
+ *		*value_size* * *count*.
+ *
+ *		The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the
+ *		following:
+ *
+ *		**BPF_F_LOCK**
+ *			Look up the value of a spin-locked map without
+ *			returning the lock. This must be specified if the
+ *			elements contain a spinlock.
+ *
+ *		On success, *count* elements from the map are copied into the
+ *		user buffer, with the keys copied into *keys* and the values
+ *		copied into the corresponding indices in *values*.
+ *
+ *		If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count*
+ *		is set to the number of successfully processed elements.
+ *
  *	Return
  *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
  *		is set appropriately.
  *
+ *		May set *errno* to **ENOSPC** to indicate that *keys* or
+ *		*values* is too small to dump an entire bucket during
+ *		iteration of a hash-based map type.
+ *
  * BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH
  *	Description
- *		Iterate and delete multiple elements in a map.
+ *		Iterate and delete all elements in a map.
+ *
+ *		This operation has the same behavior as
+ *		**BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH** with two exceptions:
+ *
+ *		* Every element that is successfully returned is also deleted
+ *		  from the map. This is at least *count* elements. Note that
+ *		  *count* is both an input and an output parameter.
+ *		* Upon returning with *errno* set to **EFAULT**, up to
+ *		  *count* elements may be deleted without returning the keys
+ *		  and values of the deleted elements.
  *

  *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*

  * BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH
  *	Description
- *		Iterate and update multiple elements in a map.

+ *
+ *		The *keys* and *values* are input parameters which must point
+ *		to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
+ *		and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be
+ *		of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of

+ *
+ *		The *elem_flags* argument should be specified as one of the
+ *		following:
+ *
+ *		**BPF_ANY**
+ *			Create new elements or update a existing elements.
+ *		**BPF_NOEXIST**
+ *			Create new elements only if they do not exist.
+ *		**BPF_EXIST**

  *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
  *		is set appropriately.
  *
+ *		May set *errno* to **EINVAL**, **EPERM**, **ENOMEM**, or
+ *		**E2BIG**. **E2BIG** indicates that the number of elements in
+ *		the map reached the *max_entries* limit specified at map
+ *		creation time.
+ *
+ *		May set *errno* to one of the following error codes under
+ *		specific circumstances:
+ *
+ *		**EEXIST**
+ *			If *flags* specifies **BPF_NOEXIST** and the element
+ *			with *key* already exists in the map.
+ *		**ENOENT**
+ *			If *flags* specifies **BPF_EXIST** and the element with
+ *			*key* does not exist in the map.

  *	Description
- *		Iterate and delete multiple elements in a map.
+ *		Delete multiple elements in a map by *key*.
+ *
+ *		The *keys* parameter is an input parameter which must point
