Trait ProgramArgument 

pub trait ProgramArgument: Into<BpfValue> {
    // Required method
    fn get_type() -> &'static Type;

    // Provided methods
    fn get_value_type(&self) -> Type { ... }
    fn field_mappings() -> &'static [FieldMapping] { ... }
    fn struct_mapping() -> Option<StructMapping> { ... }
}

Trait that should be implemented for arguments passed to eBPF programs.

Required Methods

fn get_type() -> &'static Type

Returns eBPF type that corresponds to Self. Used when program argument types are checked statically.

Provided Methods

fn get_value_type(&self) -> Type

Returns eBPF type for a specific value of Self. For most types this is the same type that’s returned by get_type(), but that’s not always the case. In particular for scalar values this will return Type::ScalarValue with the actual value of the scalar and with unknown_mask = 0.

fn field_mappings() -> &'static [FieldMapping]

Returns the list of field mappings that should be applied with this argument. If not empty then get_type() must be a PtrToStruct.

fn struct_mapping() -> Option<StructMapping>

Returns the StructMapping that should be applied with this argument. Implementations should override field_mappings() and keep default implementation of struct_mapping().

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
