libbpf-async

A library for writing BPF programs in Async Rust, complementary for libbpf-rs, Rust wrapper for libbpf.

Currently, this provides Async-friendly APIs for BPF ring buffer.

To use in your project, add into your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
libbpf-async = "0.1"

Example

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut builder = TracerSkelBuilder::default();
    let mut skel = builder.open().unwrap().load().unwrap();

    let mut rb = libbpf_async::RingBuffer::new(skel.obj.map_mut("ringbuf").unwrap());
    loop {
        let mut buf = [0; 128];
        let n = rb.read(&mut buf).await.unwrap();
        // do something useful with the buffer
    }
}
