**bpftool map dump** *MAP*
Dump all entries in a given *MAP*.
- **bpftool map update** *MAP* **key** *BYTES* **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
+ **bpftool map update** *MAP* **key** *DATA* **value** *VALUE* [*UPDATE_FLAGS*]
Update map entry for a given *KEY*.
*UPDATE_FLAGS* can be one of: **any** update existing entry
or add if doesn't exit; **exist** update only if entry already
exists; **noexist** update only if entry doesn't exist.
- **bpftool map lookup** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ If the **hex** keyword is provided in front of the bytes
+ sequence, the bytes are parsed as hexadeximal values, even if
+ no "0x" prefix is added. If the keyword is not provided, then
+ the bytes are parsed as decimal values, unless a "0x" prefix
+ (for hexadecimal) or a "0" prefix (for octal) is provided.
+
+ **bpftool map lookup** *MAP* **key** *DATA*
Lookup **key** in the map.
- **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *BYTES*]
+ **bpftool map getnext** *MAP* [**key** *DATA*]
Get next key. If *key* is not specified, get first key.
- **bpftool map delete** *MAP* **key** *BYTES*
+ **bpftool map delete** *MAP* **key** *DATA*
Remove entry from the map.

Note: *FILE* must be located in *bpffs* mount.
+ **bpftool** **map event_pipe** *MAP* [**cpu** *N* **index** *M*]
+ Read events from a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map.
+
+ Install perf rings into a perf event array map and dump
+ output of any bpf_perf_event_output() call in the kernel.
+ By default read the number of CPUs on the system and
+ install perf ring for each CPU in the corresponding index
+ in the array.
+
+ If **cpu** and **index** are specified, install perf ring
+ for given **cpu** at **index** in the array (single ring).
+
+ Note that installing a perf ring into an array will silently
+ replace any existing ring. Any other application will stop
+ receiving events if it installed its rings earlier.
