* Description
* Iterate and fetch multiple elements in a map.
*
* Two opaque values are used to manage batch operations,
* *in_batch* and *out_batch*. Initially, *in_batch* must be set
* to NULL to begin the batched operation. After each subsequent
* **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH**, the caller should pass the resultant
* *out_batch* as the *in_batch* for the next operation to
* continue iteration from the current point.
*
* The *keys* and *values* are output parameters which must point
* to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
* and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be
* of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of
* *value_size* * *count*.
*
* The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the
* following:
*
* **BPF_F_LOCK**
* Look up the value of a spin-locked map without
* returning the lock. This must be specified if the
* elements contain a spinlock.
*
* On success, *count* elements from the map are copied into the
* user buffer, with the keys copied into *keys* and the values
* copied into the corresponding indices in *values*.
*
* If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count*
* is set to the number of successfully processed elements.
*
* Return
* Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
* is set appropriately.
*
* May set *errno* to **ENOSPC** to indicate that *keys* or
* *values* is too small to dump an entire bucket during
* iteration of a hash-based map type.
*
* BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH
* Description
* Iterate and delete multiple elements in a map.
* Iterate and delete all elements in a map.
*
* This operation has the same behavior as
* **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH** with two exceptions:
*
* * Every element that is successfully returned is also deleted
* from the map. This is at least *count* elements. Note that
* *count* is both an input and an output parameter.
* * Upon returning with *errno* set to **EFAULT**, up to
* *count* elements may be deleted without returning the keys
* and values of the deleted elements.
*
* Return
* Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*

* BPF_MAP_UPDATE_BATCH
* Description
* Iterate and update multiple elements in a map.
* Update multiple elements in a map by *key*.
*
* The *keys* and *values* are input parameters which must point
* to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
* and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be
* of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of

*
* Each element specified in *keys* is sequentially updated to the
* value in the corresponding index in *values*. The *in_batch*
* and *out_batch* parameters are ignored and should be zeroed.
*
* The *elem_flags* argument should be specified as one of the
* following:
*
* **BPF_ANY**
* Create new elements or update a existing elements.
* **BPF_NOEXIST**
* Create new elements only if they do not exist.
* **BPF_EXIST**
* Update existing elements.
* **BPF_F_LOCK**
* Update spin_lock-ed map elements. This must be
* specified if the map value contains a spinlock.
*
* On success, *count* elements from the map are updated.
*
* If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count*
* is set to the number of successfully processed elements.
*
* Return
* Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
* is set appropriately.
*
* May set *errno* to **EINVAL**, **EPERM**, **ENOMEM**, or
* **E2BIG**. **E2BIG** indicates that the number of elements in
* the map reached the *max_entries* limit specified at map
* creation time.
*
* May set *errno* to one of the following error codes under
* specific circumstances:
*
* **EEXIST**
* If *flags* specifies **BPF_NOEXIST** and the element
* with *key* already exists in the map.
* **ENOENT**
* If *flags* specifies **BPF_EXIST** and the element with
* *key* does not exist in the map.
*
* BPF_MAP_DELETE_BATCH
* Description
* Iterate and delete multiple elements in a map.
* Delete multiple elements in a map by *key*.
*
* The *keys* parameter is an input parameter which must point
* to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
* size of the map *map_fd*, that is, *key_size* * *count*.
*
* Each element specified in *keys* is sequentially deleted. The
* *in_batch*, *out_batch*, and *values* parameters are ignored
* and should be zeroed.
*
* The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the
