3 * Minimal BPF assembler
5 * Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
6 * useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
7 * close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
8 * In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
9 * just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
10 * not supported by compilers.
14 * 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.rst
15 * 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
16 * blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
17 * pretty print a C-like construct.
