bpftool uses hexadecimal values when it dumps map contents:
# bpftool map dump id 1337
key: ff 13 37 ff value: a1 b2 c3 d4 ff ff ff ff
Found 1 element
In order to lookup or update values with bpftool, the natural reflex is
then to copy and paste the values to the command line, and to try to run
something like:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key ff 13 37 ff \
value 00 00 00 00 00 00 1a 2b
Error: error parsing byte: ff
bpftool complains, because it uses strtoul() with a 0 base to parse the
bytes, and that without a "0x" prefix, the bytes are considered as
decimal values (or even octal if they start with "0").
To feed hexadecimal values instead, one needs to add "0x" prefixes
everywhere necessary:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key 0xff 0x13 0x37 0xff \
value 0 0 0 0 0 0 0x1a 0x2b
To make it easier to use hexadecimal values, add an optional "hex"
keyword to put after "key" or "value" to tell bpftool to consider the
digits as hexadecimal. We can now do:
# bpftool map update id 1337 key hex ff 13 37 ff \
value hex 0 0 0 0 0 0 1a 2b
Without the "hex" keyword, the bytes are still parsed according to
normal integer notation (decimal if no prefix, or hexadecimal or octal
if "0x" or "0" prefix is used, respectively).
The patch also add related documentation and bash completion for the
"hex" keyword.

Add bash completion for the "visual" keyword used for dumping the CFG of
eBPF programs with bpftool. Make sure we only complete with this keyword
when we dump "xlated" (and not "jited") instructions.

Add bash completion for bpftool command `prog load`. Completion for this

iproute2 seems to accept show and list as aliases.
Let's do the same thing, and by allowing both bring
cgroup syntax back in line with maps and progs.

Add a completion file for bash. The completion function runs bpftool
when needed, making it smart enough to help users complete ids or tags
for eBPF programs and maps currently on the system.
Update Makefile to install completion file to
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions when running `make install`.
Emacs file mode and (at the end) Vim modeline have been added, to keep
the style in use for most existing bash completion files. In this, it
differs from tools/perf/perf-completion.sh, which seems to be the only
other completion file among the kernel sources repository. This is also
valid for indent style: 4-space indents, as in other completion files.
