22/// A kernel probe.
23///
24/// Kernel probes are eBPF programs that can be attached to almost any function inside
25/// the kernel. They can be of two kinds:
26///
27/// - `kprobe`: get attached to the *start* of the target functions
28/// - `kretprobe`: get attached to the *return address* of the target functions
29///
30/// # Minimum kernel version
31///
32/// The minimum kernel version required to use this feature is 4.1.
33///
34/// # Examples
35///
36/// ```no_run
37/// # let mut bpf = Ebpf::load_file("ebpf_programs.o")?;
38/// use aya::{Ebpf, programs::KProbe};
39///
40/// let program: &mut KProbe = bpf.program_mut("intercept_wakeups").unwrap().try_into()?;
41/// program.load()?;
42/// program.attach("try_to_wake_up", 0)?;
43/// # Ok::<(), aya::EbpfError>(())
44/// ```
