[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/2] Add table of BPF program types to libbpf docs

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

 



Extend the libbpf documentation with a table of program types,
attach points and ELF section names. This table uses data from
program_types.csv which is generated from tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c
during the documentation build.

+Program Types  and ELF Sections
+===============================
+
+The table below lists the program types, their attach types where relevant and the ELF section
+names supported by libbpf for them. The ELF section names follow these rules:
+
+- ``type`` is an exact match, e.g. ``SEC("socket")``
+- ``type+`` means it can be either exact ``SEC("type")`` or well-formed ``SEC("type/extras")``
+  with a ‘``/``’ separator, e.g. ``SEC("tracepoint/syscalls/sys_enter_open")``
