The command "sudo bpftrace -l" is used to list the available BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) programs or scripts that can be run using bpftrace.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo" is a command used in Unix-like systems to run a command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to execute a command as the superuser or another user.
- "bpftrace" is a tool developed by the Linux community for tracing and profiling software. It uses BPF programs attached to various kernel events to collect data and provide insights into system behavior.
- "-l" is a command-line option for bpftrace that instructs it to list the available BPF programs that can be executed.
In summary, when you run "sudo bpftrace -l," you will get a list of BPF programs/scripts that are available for use with bpftrace. This can be helpful to identify available tracing and profiling options.
