[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/2] bpftool: Add libbpf's version number to "bpftool version" output

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

 



To help users check what version of libbpf is being used with bpftool,
print the number along with bpftool's own version number.

Output:

    $ ./bpftool version
    ./bpftool v5.16.0
    using libbpf v0.7
    features: libbfd, libbpf_strict, skeletons

    $ ./bpftool version --json --pretty
    {
        "version": "5.16.0",
        "libbpf_version": "0.7",
        "features": {
            "libbfd": true,
            "libbpf_strict": true,
            "skeletons": true
        }
    }

Note that libbpf does not expose its patch number.
