Py-libbpf

This library provides Python bindings for libbpf on Linux to make loading of eBPF object files easier. This is meant to be used along with pythonbpf, the eBPF Python DSL compiler. This library makes it possible to attach these programs to events in the kernel right from inside Python.

Warning

IN DEVELOPMENT. DO NOT USE.

Prerequisites

• A compiler with C++11 support
• Pip 10+ or CMake >= 4.1
• Ninja or Pip 10+

Installation

Just clone this repository and pip install. Note the --recursive option which is needed for the pybind11 submodule:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/varun-r-mallya/pylibbpf.git
pip install .

With the setup.py file included in this example, the pip install command will invoke CMake and build the pybind11 module as specified in CMakeLists.txt.

Building the documentation

The documentation here is still boilerplate.
