| .TH bashreadline 8 "2016-01-28" "USER COMMANDS" |
| .SH NAME |
| bashreadline \- Print entered bash commands system wide. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc. |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B bashreadline |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| bashreadline traces the return of the readline() function using uprobes, to |
| show the bash commands that were entered interactively, system wide. The |
| entered command may fail: this is just showing what was entered. |
| |
| This program is also a basic example of eBPF/bcc and uprobes. |
| |
| Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool. |
| .SH REQUIREMENTS |
| CONFIG_BPF and bcc. |
| .SH EXAMPLES |
| .TP |

| PID |

| .SH OVERHEAD |

| the overhead of this program is expected to be negligible. |
