BTF to Python ctypes Converter
Converts Linux kernel BTF (BPF Type Format) to Python ctypes definitions.
This tool automates the process of:
1. Dumping BTF from vmlinux
2. Preprocessing enum definitions
3. Processing struct kioctx to extract anonymous nested structs
4. Running C preprocessor
5. Converting to Python ctypes using clang2py
6. Post-processing the output
Requirements:
- bpftool
- clang
- ctypeslib2 (pip install ctypeslib2)
