Appendix C. BCC Tool Development
This appendix summarizes BCC tool development using examples and is an extension of Chapter 4. This is optional content for those readers who are interested. Chapter 5 covers how to develop tools in bpftrace, a higher-level language that is expected to be sufficient and preferred in many cases. Also see Chapter 18 for a discussion on minimizing overhead, which is common to both BCC and bpftrace tool development.
