Module bpf_sys::type_gen

A module for generating C source code (i.e. vmlinux.h) that defines all structs and enums of the Linux kernel.

This module is responsible for generating C source code using BTF of vmlinux. All data structures even not exported to the Linux kernel headers can be found in vmlinux.h.

NOTE BTF does not record macro constants that are defined by #define syntax. So macro constants can not be generated from vmlinux image. But type_gen provides common macro constants by including some C header files in system.

Structs

VmlinuxBtfDump

Load vmlinux from file and generate vmlinux.h

Enums

TypeGenError

An error that occurred during parsing vmlinux and generating C source code from BTF.

Constants

ENV_VMLINUX_PATH

Functions

get_custom_vmlinux_path

vmlinux_btf_dump

Find a source of vmlinux BTF and parse it
