Ok. That's a doubt I had while converting the first round of tests (bpf_metadata, bpftool_map_access), whether we really want to test exact bpftool CLI output, or if test_progs->libbpf testing was fine. I'll remote this test_bpftool.py then, thanks for the feedback. Alexis --=20 Alexis Lothor=C3=A9, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
