-/* BPF syscall commands, see bpf(2) man-page for details. */
+/* BPF syscall commands, see bpf(2) man-page for more details.
+ *
+ * The operation to be performed by the **bpf**\ () system call is determined
+ * by the *cmd* argument. Each operation takes an accompanying argument,
+ * provided via *attr*, which is a pointer to a union of type *bpf_attr* (see
+ * below). The size argument is the size of the union pointed to by *attr*.
+ *
+ * Start of BPF syscall commands:
+ *
+ * BPF_MAP_CREATE
+ *	Description
+ *		Create a map and return a file descriptor that refers to the
+ *		map. The close-on-exec file descriptor flag (see **fcntl**\ (2))
+ *		is automatically enabled for the new file descriptor.
+ *
+ *		Applying **close**\ (2) to the file descriptor returned by
+ *		**BPF_MAP_CREATE** will delete the map (but see NOTES).
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an
+ *		error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately).
+ *
+ * BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM
+ *	Description
+ *		Look up an element with a given *key* in the map referred to
+ *		by the file descriptor *map_fd*.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
+ *		is set appropriately.
+ *
+ * BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM
+ *	Description
+ *		Create or update an element (key/value pair) in a specified map.
+ *
+ *		The *flags* argument should be specified as one of the
+ *		following:
+ *
+ *		**BPF_ANY**
+ *			Create a new element or update an existing element.
+ *		**BPF_NOEXIST**
+ *			Create a new element only if it did not exist.
+ *		**BPF_EXIST**
+ *			Update an existing element.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
+ *		is set appropriately.
+ *
+ *		May set *errno* to **EINVAL**, **EPERM**, **ENOMEM**,
+ *		**E2BIG**, **EEXIST**, or **ENOENT**.
+ *
+ *		**E2BIG**
+ *			The number of elements in the map reached the
+ *			*max_entries* limit specified at map creation time.
+ *		**EEXIST**
+ *			If *flags* specifies **BPF_NOEXIST** and the element
+ *			with *key* already exists in the map.
+ *		**ENOENT**
+ *			If *flags* specifies **BPF_EXIST** and the element with
+ *			*key* does not exist in the map.
+ *
+ * BPF_MAP_DELETE_ELEM
+ *	Description
+ *		Look up and delete an element by key in a specified map.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
+ *		is set appropriately.
+ *
+ * BPF_MAP_GET_NEXT_KEY
+ *	Description
+ *		Look up an element by key in a specified map and return the key
+ *		of the next element. Can be used to iterate over all elements
+ *		in the map.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
+ *		is set appropriately.
+ *
+ *		The following cases can be used to iterate over all elements of
+ *		the map:
+ *
+ *		* If *key* is not found, the operation returns zero and sets
+ *		  the *next_key* pointer to the key of the first element.
+ *		* If *key* is found, the operation returns zero and sets the
+ *		  *next_key* pointer to the key of the next element.
+ *		* If *key* is the last element, returns -1 and *errno* is set
+ *		  to **ENOENT**.
+ *
+ *		May set *errno* to **ENOMEM**, **EFAULT**, **EPERM**, or
+ *		**EINVAL** on error.
+ *
+ * BPF_PROG_LOAD
+ *	Description
+ *		Verify and load an eBPF program, returning a new file
+ *		descriptor associated with the program.
+ *
+ *		Applying **close**\ (2) to the file descriptor returned by
+ *		**BPF_PROG_LOAD** will unload the eBPF program (but see NOTES).
+ *
+ *		The close-on-exec file descriptor flag (see **fcntl**\ (2)) is
+ *		automatically enabled for the new file descriptor.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		A new file descriptor (a nonnegative integer), or -1 if an
+ *		error occurred (in which case, *errno* is set appropriately).
+ *
+ * NOTES
+ *	eBPF objects (maps and programs) can be shared between processes.
+ *	For example, after **fork**\ (2), the child inherits file descriptors
+ *	referring to the same eBPF objects. In addition, file descriptors
+ *	referring to eBPF objects can be transferred over UNIX domain sockets.
+ *	File descriptors referring to eBPF objects can be duplicated in the
+ *	usual way, using **dup**\ (2) and similar calls. An eBPF object is
+ *	deallocated only after all file descriptors referring to the object
+ *	have been closed.
