# rebpf
rebpf is a Rust library built on top of libbpf (no bcc dependency) that allows to write and load bpf program, in details this library provides:
- A raw binding of libbpf provide by [libbpf-sys](https://github.com/alexforster/libbpf-sys).
- A safe wrapper of libbpf.
- High level ebpf api built on top of libbpf wrapper.
- Parse packets in bpf programs using [pdu](https://github.com/uccidibuti/pdu), for more details see [packet_parser](../examples/packet_parser).

## Source code overview
- rebpf has "bpf" and "userspace" features in Cargo.toml, on default both are enabled but if you want use rebpf only to write bpf programs or bpf userspace loader you can choose only one of them.
- All functions and structs that represent a safe wrapper of libbpf are located in [libbpf.rs](./src/libbpf.rs) and [helpers.rs](./src/helpers.rs) with the same names of the functions and structs in libbpf (structs names are switched from snake_case to caml_case).
- All functions and structs that represent high level ebpf api are built on top of libbpf safe wrapper. High level ebpf api is splitted in [userspace](./src/userspace/mod.rs) to load bpf programs and [bpf](./src/bpf/mod.rs) to write bpf programs.
## Usage
Add to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
rebpf = "0.1.4"
```
To create your first ebpf program with rebpf library you can copy and rename an [empty project template](https://github.com/uccidibuti/rebpf/tree/master/examples/empty_project) and edit it changing <your_project_name>/src/kern.rs and <your_project_name>/src/user.rs files.
