8 * This is a tiny Berkeley Packet Filter compiler that understands the
9 * Syntax / Semantic from the USENIX paper {"The BSD Packet Filter: A New
10 * Architecture for User-level Packet Capture", McCanne, Steven and
11 * Jacobson, Van, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory}. With this, BPFs can be
12 * written the good old way and understood by the Linux kernel and *BSD
13 * kernels where Berkeley Packet Filters are used.
15 * The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not
16 * a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of

26 bpfc - compile a BPF expression into BPF opcode
30 bpfc -i|--input <program> [-V|--verbose][-v|--version][-h|--help]
34 bpfc is a tool to generate BPF opcode from a literal expression.
35 The generated BPF opcode then can be used to filter out the
36 corresponding traffic.
42 =item bpfc --input example.bpf
44 Transform the literal expression in example.bpf into BPF opcodes
52 =item -i|--input <program>
54 Path to Berkeley Packet Filter file.
58 Increase program verbosity
66 Print help text and lists all options.
