## Overview
eBPF is a technology that allows running user-supplied programs inside the Linux
kernel. For more info see [What is eBPF](https://ebpf.io/what-is-ebpf).
Aya is an eBPF library built with a focus on operability and developer
experience. It does not rely on [libbpf] nor [bcc] - it's built from the ground
up purely in Rust, using only the [libc] crate to execute syscalls. With BTF
support and when linked with musl, it offers a true [compile once, run
everywhere solution][co-re], where a single self-contained binary can be
deployed on many linux distributions and kernel versions.
Some of the major features provided include:
* Support for the **BPF Type Format** (BTF), which is transparently enabled when
supported by the target kernel. This allows eBPF programs compiled against
one kernel version to run on different kernel versions without the need to
recompile.
* Support for function call relocation and global data maps, which
allows eBPF programs to make **function calls** and use **global variables
and initializers**.
* **Async support** with both [tokio] and [async-std].
* Easy to deploy and fast to build: aya doesn't require a kernel build or
compiled headers, and not even a C toolchain; a release build completes in a matter
of seconds.

### Example
Aya supports a large chunk of the eBPF API. The following example shows how to
use a `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB` program with aya:
```rust
use std::fs::File;
use aya::Ebpf;
use aya::programs::{CgroupSkb, CgroupSkbAttachType, CgroupAttachMode};
// load the BPF code
let mut ebpf = Ebpf::load_file("ebpf.o")?;
// get the `ingress_filter` program compiled into `ebpf.o`.
let ingress: &mut CgroupSkb = ebpf.program_mut("ingress_filter")?.try_into()?;
// load the program into the kernel
ingress.load()?;
// attach the program to the root cgroup.Excerpt of 4,822 characters
