Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 4/6] libbpf: Add bpf_prog_stream_open()
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 11:35:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830093514.4105972-5-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830093514.4105972-1-memxor@gmail.com>
Expose the BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN command through a low-level libbpf wrapper.
The options structure carries stream open flags, including non-blocking
mode, while leaving room for future extensions.
