+BPF drgn tools
+==============
+
+drgn scripts is a convenient and easy to use mechanism to retrieve arbitrary
+kernel data structures. drgn is not relying on kernel UAPI to read the data.
+Instead it's reading directly from ``/proc/kcore`` or vmcore and pretty prints
+the data based on DWARF debug information from vmlinux.
+
+This document describes BPF related drgn tools.
+
+See `drgn/tools`_ for all tools available at the moment and `drgn/doc`_ for
+more details on drgn itself.
+
+bpf_inspect.py
+--------------
+
+Description
+===========
+
+`bpf_inspect.py`_ is a tool intended to inspect BPF programs and maps. It can
+iterate over all programs and maps in the system and print basic information
+about these objects, including id, type and name.
+
+The main use-case `bpf_inspect.py`_ covers is to show BPF programs of types
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT`` and ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING`` attached to other BPF
+programs via ``freplace``/``fentry``/``fexit`` mechanisms, since there is no
+user-space API to get this information.
+
+Getting started
+===============
+
+List BPF programs (full names are obtained from BTF)::
+
+    % sudo bpf_inspect.py prog
+        27: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT         tracepoint__tcp__tcp_send_reset
+      4632: BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR   tw_ipt_bind
+     49464: BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT     raw_tracepoint__sched_process_exit
+
+List BPF maps::
+
+      % sudo bpf_inspect.py map
+        2577: BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH                tw_ipt_vips
+        4050: BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE         stack_traces
+        4069: BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY        ned_dctcp_cntr
+
+Find BPF programs attached to BPF program ``test_pkt_access``::
+
+      % sudo bpf_inspect.py p | grep test_pkt_access
+         650: BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS          test_pkt_access
+         654: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_main                        linked:[650->25: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access()]
+         655: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog1                    linked:[650->29: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog1()]
+         656: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog2                    linked:[650->31: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog2()]
+         657: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog3                    linked:[650->21: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog3()]
+         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+         659: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_ifindex              linked:[650->23: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_ifindex()]
+         660: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_constant                 linked:[650->19: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_constant()]
+
+It can be seen that there is a program ``test_pkt_access``, id 650 and there
+are multiple other tracing and ext programs attached to functions in
+``test_pkt_access``.
+
+For example the line::
+
+         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+
+, means that BPF program id 658, type ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT``, name
+``new_get_skb_len`` replaces (``BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE``) function ``get_skb_len()``
+that has BTF id 16 in BPF program id 650, name ``test_pkt_access``.
+
+Getting help:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+    % sudo bpf_inspect.py
+    usage: bpf_inspect.py [-h] {prog,p,map,m} ...
+
+    drgn script to list BPF programs or maps and their properties
+    unavailable via kernel API.
+
+    See https://github.com/osandov/drgn/ for more details on drgn.
+
+    optional arguments:
+      -h, --help      show this help message and exit
+
+    subcommands:
+      {prog,p,map,m}
+        prog (p)      list BPF programs
+        map (m)       list BPF maps
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+The script is intended to be customized by developers to print relevant
+information about BPF programs, maps and other objects.
+
+For example, to print ``struct bpf_prog_aux`` for BPF program id 53077:
+
+.. code-block:: none
