2 * Minimal BPF assembler
3 *
4 * Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
5 * useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
6 * close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
7 * In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
8 * just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
9 * not supported by compilers.
10 *
11 * How to get into it:
12 *
13 * 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.txt
14 * 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
15 * blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
16 * pretty print a C-like construct.
