Hi, I was thinking that bpf_program__attach() can return error code theoretically(for example -ESRCH), and such case need to be handled. Thanks, Yu Kuai > > Thanks, > Daniel > . >

So as Daniel and John pointed out, existing code is correct and doesn't need adjustment. You are right, though, that error code is indeed returned, but you can check errno directly (but need to enable libbpf 1.0 mode) or use libbpf_get_error() (which will get deprecated some time before libbpf 1.0) if you don't know which mode your code will be run in. > Thanks, > Yu Kuai > > > > Thanks, > > Daniel > > . > >
