Iter

Struct Iter 

Source
pub struct Iter { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A BPF iterator which allows to dump data from the kernel-space into the user-space.

It can be seen as an alternative to /proc filesystem as it offers more flexibility about what information should be retrieved and how it should be formatted.

§Minimum kernel version

The minimum kernel version required to use this feature is 5.8.

§Example

use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use aya::{programs::{Iter, ProgramError}, BtfError, Btf, Ebpf};

let btf = Btf::from_sys_fs()?;
let program: &mut Iter = ebpf.program_mut("iter_prog").unwrap().try_into()?;
program.load("task", &btf)?;

let link_id = program.attach()?;
let link = program.take_link(link_id)?;
let file = link.into_file()?;
let reader = BufReader::new(file);

let mut lines = reader.lines();
for line in lines {
    let line = line?;
    println!("{line}");
}

Implementations§

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub const PROGRAM_TYPE: ProgramType = ProgramType::Tracing

The type of the program according to the kernel.

Source

pub fn load(&mut self, iter_type: &str, btf: &Btf) -> Result<(), ProgramError>

Loads the program inside the kernel.

Source

pub fn attach(&mut self) -> Result<IterLinkId, ProgramError>

Attaches the program.

The returned value can be used to detach, see Self::detach.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn detach(&mut self, link_id: IterLinkId) -> Result<(), ProgramError>

Detaches the program.

See Self::attach.

Takes ownership of the link referenced by the provided link_id.

The caller takes the responsibility of managing the lifetime of the link. When the returned IterLink is dropped, the link will be detached.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn unload(&mut self) -> Result<(), ProgramError>

Unloads the program from the kernel.

Tracked links will be detached before unloading the program. Attachment mechanisms that do not create tracked links are not affected. Note that owned links obtained using take_link() will not be detached.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn fd(&self) -> Result<&ProgramFd, ProgramError>

Returns the file descriptor of this Program.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn pin<P: AsRef<Path>>(&mut self, path: P) -> Result<(), PinError>

Pins the program to a BPF filesystem.

When a BPF object is pinned to a BPF filesystem it will remain loaded after Aya has unloaded the program. To remove the program, the file on the BPF filesystem must be removed. Any directories in the the path provided should have been created by the caller.

Source

pub fn unpin(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>

Removes the pinned link from the filesystem.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn from_pin<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Self, ProgramError>

Creates a program from a pinned entry on a bpffs.

Existing links will not be populated. To work with existing links you should use crate::programs::links::PinnedLink.

On drop, any managed links are detached and the program is unloaded. This will not result in the program being unloaded from the kernel if it is still pinned.

Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn from_program_info( info: ProgramInfo, name: Cow<'static, str>, ) -> Result<Self, ProgramError>

Constructs an instance of a Self from a ProgramInfo.

This allows the caller to get a handle to an already loaded program from the kernel without having to load it again.

§Errors
  • If the program type reported by the kernel does not match Self::PROGRAM_TYPE.
  • If the file descriptor of the program cannot be cloned.
Source§

impl Iter

Source

pub fn info(&self) -> Result<ProgramInfo, ProgramError>

Returns metadata information of this program.

Uses kernel v4.13 features.
