SYNOPSIS
bpftool [OPTIONS] cgroup COMMAND

OPTIONS := { { -j | --json } [{ -p | --pretty }] | { -f | --bpffs } }

COMMANDS := { show | list | attach | detach | help }

MAP COMMANDS
bpftool cgroup { show | list } CGROUP
bpftool cgroup attach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG [ATTACH_FLAGS]
bpftool cgroup detach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG
bpftool cgroup help
PROG := { id PROG_ID | pinned FILE | tag PROG_TAG }
ATTACH_TYPE := { ingress | egress | sock_create | sock_ops | device }
ATTACH_FLAGS := { multi | override }

DESCRIPTION

bpftool cgroup { show | list } CGROUP
    List all programs attached to the cgroup CGROUP.

    Output will start with program ID followed by attach type, attach flags and program name.

bpftool cgroup attach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG [ATTACH_FLAGS]
    Attach program PROG to the cgroup CGROUP with attach type ATTACH_TYPE and optional ATTACH_FLAGS.

    ATTACH_FLAGS can be one of: override if a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, the program in this cgroup yields to sub-cgroup program; multi if a sub-cgroup installs some bpf program, that cgroup program gets run in addition to the program in this cgroup.

    Only one program is allowed to be attached to a cgroup with no attach flags or the override flag. Attaching another program will release old program and attach the new one.

    Multiple programs are allowed to be attached to a cgroup with multi. They are executed in FIFO order (those that were attached first, run first).

    Non-default ATTACH_FLAGS are supported by kernel version 4.14 and later.

    ATTACH_TYPE can be on of: ingress ingress path of the inet socket (since 4.10); egress egress path of the inet socket (since 4.10); sock_create opening of an inet socket (since 4.10); sock_ops various socket operations (since 4.12); device device access (since 4.15).

bpftool cgroup detach CGROUP ATTACH_TYPE PROG
    Detach PROG from the cgroup CGROUP and attach type ATTACH_TYPE.

bpftool prog help
    Print short help message.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Print short generic help message (similar to bpftool help).

-v, --version
    Print version number (similar to bpftool version).

-j, --json
    Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this option has no effect.

-p, --pretty
    Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.

-f, --bpffs
    Show file names of pinned programs.

EXAMPLES
# mount -t bpf none /sys/fs/bpf/
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice
# bpftool prog load ./device_cgroup.o /sys/fs/bpf/prog
# bpftool cgroup attach /sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice/ device id 1 allow_multi

# bpftool cgroup list /sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice/

ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name
1        device          allow_multi     bpf_prog1
# bpftool cgroup detach /sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice/ device id 1
# bpftool cgroup list /sys/fs/cgroup/test.slice/

ID       AttachType      AttachFlags     Name

NOTES

Attaching of programs to cgroups is not supported in RHEL 7.
