Hi! I've been writing various cli programs and little tools to play with XDP and maps lately (testing NFP map offload). I have a simple CLI for loading programs, setting XDP up and interacting with maps. It's based on libbpf from tools/ and the loader from samples/bpf. I wonder how do others perform basic map interactions? Perhaps I'm approaching the problem from the wrong side? Is anyone working on command line interface for simple update/dump/delete operations? I think it's recommended to use bpffs, are there any tools for interacting with it? Are there any Python libraries which could take care of parsing ELF files and poking maps? My understanding is that BCC is not really the tool for the job, because it's too high-level. I don't want to compile programs each time I want to load them. On the kernel sources - I'm pretty sure this was discussed on netdev but I forgot the conclusion :( - is it possible to move samples/bpf/bpf_load.c in some form to libbpf?
