Adding map read write API to bpftool gen skeleton sub command.

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

 



Hi folks,

I have been testing the use of BTF to generate read/write API on maps
with specific key value types which can be extracted from the BTF
info.
I have already developed a small tool to test this which uses the BTF
information in the ebpf binary to automatically generate map
type-specific CRUD APIs. This can be built on top of the libbpf api in
the sense that it can provide key and value type info and type
checking on top of the existing api.

Our goal is to ease the development of ebpf user space applications
and was wondering if this feature could be integrated to "bpftool gen
skeleton" sub command.
I was wondering if you think that such a
feature will be inline with the intent of bpftool and will be of value
to its users.
I am happy to have more discussion or a meeting on how this could be
approached and implemented and if it would be a good addition to
bpftool.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Dushyant
