Commit Message

Alan Maguire Sept. 7, 2019, 9:40 p.m. UTC 
Document supported "bpf pcap" subcommands.

"prog" is used to capture packets from already-loaded programs.
"trace" loads/atttaches tracing programs to capture packets.

+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+	**bpftool pcap prog [*PROG*] *PROG* [{**data_out** *FILE* | **proto** *PROTOCOL* | **len** *MAXLEN* | **pages** *NUMPAGES*}]
+
+		  Capture packet data from perf event map associated with
+		  program specified.  By default capture data is displayed on
+		  stdout, but if a capture file is preferred the data_out FILE
+		  option can be used.  The link type (termed DLT_TYPE in
+		  libpcap) is assumed to be Ethernet if not explicitly
+		  specified via the **proto** option.
+
+		  Maximum capture length can be adjusted via the **len**
+		  option.
+
+		  To work with bpftool pcap, the associated BPF program must
+		  at least define a perf event map, but if config options
+		  (protocol, max len) are to be supported it should also
+		  provide an array map with a single value of at least
+		  *struct bpf_pcap_conf* size.
+
+	**bpftool** **pcap** **trace** [*OBJ*] *TRACE* [{**data_out** *FILE* | **proto** *PROTOCOL* | **len** *MAXLEN* | **dev** *DEV* | **pages** *NUMPAGES*}]
+
+		  Attach the specified program in *OBJ* or load a
+		  pre-existing BPF kprobe/tracepoint program capable
+		  of capturing packets.
+
+		  Trace specification is of the form
+
+			trace_type:probe[:arg]
+
+		  For example tracepoint:iwlwifi_dev_tx_tb:arg2 will
+		  capture packet data from the second argument to the
+		  iwlwifi_dev_tx_tb tracepoint.  *DEV* can be used to
+		  limit capture to a specific incoming interface.
+
+	**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
+		  When showing BPF programs, show file names of pinned
+		  programs.
+
+	-m, --mapcompat
+		  Allow loading maps with unknown map definitions.
+
+	-n, --nomount
+		  Do not automatically attempt to mount any virtual file system
+		  (such as tracefs or BPF virtual file system) when necessary.
+
+	-d, --debug
+		  Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This
+		  includes logs from libbpf as well as from the verifier, when
+		  attempting to load programs.
+
+EXAMPLES
+========
+**# bpftool pcap trace tracepoint:net_dev_xmit:arg1 proto eth | tcpdump -r -**
+reading from file -, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet)
