Libbpf userspace function bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem_flags

0.5.0

Low level wrapper around the BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM syscall command.

Definition

int bpf_map_lookup_and_delete_elem_flags(int fd, const void *key, void *value, __u64 flags);

Parameters

  • fd: file descriptor of the map to lookup element in
  • key: pointer to memory containing bytes of the key used for lookup
  • value: pointer to memory in which looked up value will be stored
  • flags: flags passed to kernel for this operation

Return

0, on success; negative error, otherwise

Usage

This function should only be used if you need precise control over the map element lookup and delete process. In most cases the bpf_map__lookup_and_delete_elem function should be used instead.
