When using `bpftool map dump` with map_of_maps, it is usually more convenient to show the inner map id instead of raw value. We are changing the plain print behavior to show inner_map_id instead of hex value, this would help with quick look up of inner map with `bpftool map dump id <inner_map_id>`. To avoid disrupting scripted behavior, we will add a new `inner_map_id` field to json output instead of replacing value. plain print: ``` $ bpftool map dump id 138 Without Patch: key: fc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 27 16 06 00 value: 8b 00 00 00 Found 1 element With Patch: key: fc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 27 16 06 00 inner_map_id: 139 Found 1 element ``` json print: ``` $ bpftool -p map dump id 567 Without Patch: [{ "key": ["0xc0","0x00","0x02","0x05","0x27","0x16","0x06","0x00" ], "value": ["0x38","0x02","0x00","0x00" ] } ] With Patch: [{ "key": ["0xc0","0x00","0x02","0x05","0x27","0x16","0x06","0x00" ], "value": ["0x38","0x02","0x00","0x00" ], "inner_map_id": 568 } ] ``` Signed-off-by: Xueming Feng <kuro@xxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v3: - In plain print, use printf() directly since inner map id is always a 32bit int. - Remove unused print_uint() function. - Rename `id` to `inner_map_id` in plain print output for clearness. - Add a new `inner_map_id` field to json output. - Add example output to commit message. Changes in v2: - Fix commit message grammar. - Change `print_uint` to only print to stdout, make `arg` const, and rename `n` to `arg_size`. - Make `print_uint` able to take any size of argument up to `unsigned long`, and print it as unsigned decimal. Sorry for taking this long, my compiling machine is acting weird.
