SYNOPSIS
========

	**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **feature** *COMMAND*

	*OPTIONS* := { |COMMON_OPTIONS| }

	*COMMANDS* := { **probe** | **help** }

FEATURE COMMANDS
================

|	**bpftool** **feature probe** [*COMPONENT*] [**full**] [**unprivileged**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
|	**bpftool** **feature help**
|
|	*COMPONENT* := { **kernel** | **dev** *NAME* }

DESCRIPTION
===========
	**bpftool feature probe** [**kernel**] [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
		  Probe the running kernel and dump a number of eBPF-related
		  parameters, such as availability of the **bpf**\ () system call,
		  JIT status, eBPF program types availability, eBPF helper
		  functions availability, and more.

		  By default, bpftool **does not run probes** for
		  **bpf_probe_write_user**\ () and **bpf_trace_printk**\()
		  helpers which print warnings to kernel logs. To enable them
		  and run all probes, the **full** keyword should be used.

		  If the **macros** keyword (but not the **-j** option) is
		  passed, a subset of the output is dumped as a list of
		  **#define** macros that are ready to be included in a C
		  header file, for example. If, additionally, **prefix** is
		  used to define a *PREFIX*, the provided string will be used
		  as a prefix to the names of the macros: this can be used to
		  avoid conflicts on macro names when including the output of
		  this command as a header file.

		  Keyword **kernel** can be omitted. If no probe target is
		  specified, probing the kernel is the default behaviour.

		  When the **unprivileged** keyword is used, bpftool will dump
		  only the features available to a user who does not have the
		  **CAP_SYS_ADMIN** capability set. The features available in
		  that case usually represent a small subset of the parameters
		  supported by the system. Unprivileged users MUST use the
		  **unprivileged** keyword: This is to avoid misdetection if
		  bpftool is inadvertently run as non-root, for example. This
		  keyword is unavailable if bpftool was compiled without
		  libcap.

	**bpftool feature probe dev** *NAME* [**full**] [**macros** [**prefix** *PREFIX*]]
		  Probe network device for supported eBPF features and dump
		  results to the console.

		  The keywords **full**, **macros** and **prefix** have the
		  same role as when probing the kernel.

	**bpftool feature help**
		  Print short help message.
