:Manual section: 8
SYNOPSIS
========
**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **iter** *COMMAND*
*OPTIONS* := { { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] | { **-d** | **--debug** } }
*COMMANDS* := { **pin** | **help** }
ITER COMMANDS
===================
| **bpftool** **iter pin** *OBJ* *PATH* [**map** *MAP*]
| **bpftool** **iter help**
|
| *OBJ* := /a/file/of/bpf_iter_target.o
| *MAP* := { **id** *MAP_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* }
DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool iter pin** *OBJ* *PATH* [**map** *MAP*]
A bpf iterator combines a kernel iterating of
particular kernel data (e.g., tasks, bpf_maps, etc.)
and a bpf program called for each kernel data object
(e.g., one task, one bpf_map, etc.). User space can
*read* kernel iterator output through *read()* syscall.
The *pin* command creates a bpf iterator from *OBJ*,
and pin it to *PATH*. The *PATH* should be located
in *bpffs* mount. It must not contain a dot
character ('.'), which is reserved for future extensions
of *bpffs*.
Map element bpf iterator requires an additional parameter
*MAP* so bpf program can iterate over map elements for
that map. User can have a bpf program in kernel to run
with each map element, do checking, filtering, aggregation,
etc. without copying data to user space.
User can then *cat PATH* to see the bpf iterator output.
**bpftool iter help**
Print short help message.

EXAMPLES
========
**# bpftool iter pin bpf_iter_netlink.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_netlink**
::
Create a file-based bpf iterator from bpf_iter_netlink.o and pin it
to /sys/fs/bpf/my_netlink
**# bpftool iter pin bpf_iter_hashmap.o /sys/fs/bpf/my_hashmap map id 20**
::
Create a file-based bpf iterator from bpf_iter_hashmap.o and map with
id 20, and pin it to /sys/fs/bpf/my_hashmap
