Description
This crate contains a virtual machine for eBPF program execution. BPF, as in Berkeley Packet Filter, is an assembly-like language initially developed for BSD systems, in order to filter packets in the kernel with tools such as tcpdump so as to avoid useless copies to user-space. It was ported to Linux, where it evolved into eBPF (extended BPF), a faster version with more features. While BPF programs are originally intended to run in the kernel, the virtual machine of this crate enables running it in user-space applications; it contains an interpreter, an x86_64 JIT-compiler for eBPF programs, as well as a disassembler.
It is based on Rich Lane's uBPF software, which does nearly the same, but is written in C.
The crate is supposed to compile and run on Linux, MacOS X, and Windows, although the JIT-compiler does not work with Windows at this time.
