.TH inject 8 "2018-03-16" "USER COMMANDS" .SH NAME inject \- injects appropriate error into function if input call chain and predicates are satisfied. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc. .SH SYNOPSIS .B inject -h [-I header] [-P probability] [-v] [-C count] mode spec .SH DESCRIPTION inject injects errors into specified kernel functionality when a given call chain and associated predicates are satsified. WARNING: This tool injects failures into key kernel functions and may crash the kernel. You should know what you're doing if you're using this tool. This makes use of a Linux 4.16 feature (bpf_override_return()) Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool. .SH REQUIREMENTS CONFIG_BPF, CONFIG_BPF_KPROBE_OVERRIDE, bcc .SH OPTIONS .TP \-h Print usage message. .TP \-v Display the generated BPF program, for debugging or modification. .TP \-I header Necessary headers to be included. .TP \-P probability Optional probability of failure, default 1. .TP \-C count Number of errors to inject before stopping, default never stops. .SH EXAMPLES Please see inject_example.txt .SH SOURCE This is from bcc. .IP https://github.com/iovisor/bcc .PP Also look in the bcc distribution for a companion _examples.txt file containing example usage, output, and commentary for this tool. .SH OS Linux .SH STABILITY Unstable - in development. .SH AUTHOR Howard McLauchlan
