:Manual section: 8
SYNOPSIS
========
**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **link** *COMMAND*
*OPTIONS* := { { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] | { **-f** | **--bpffs** } }
*COMMANDS* := { **show** | **list** | **pin** | **help** }
LINK COMMANDS
=============
| **bpftool** **link { show | list }** [*LINK*]
| **bpftool** **link pin** *LINK* *FILE*
| **bpftool** **link help**
|
| *LINK* := { **id** *LINK_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* }
DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool link { show | list }** [*LINK*]
Show information about active links. If *LINK* is
specified show information only about given link,
otherwise list all links currently active on the system.
Output will start with link ID followed by link type and
zero or more named attributes, some of which depend on type
of link.
**bpftool link pin** *LINK* *FILE*
Pin link *LINK* as *FILE*.
Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount. It must not
contain a dot character ('.'), which is reserved for future
extensions of *bpffs*.
**bpftool link 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 links, show file names of pinned
links.
-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.
EXAMPLES
========
**# bpftool link show**
::
10: cgroup prog 25
cgroup_id 614 attach_type egress
**# bpftool --json --pretty link show**
::
[{
"type": "cgroup",
"prog_id": 25,
"cgroup_id": 614,
"attach_type": "egress"
}
]
|
| **# bpftool link pin id 10 /sys/fs/bpf/link**
| **# ls -l /sys/fs/bpf/**
