# CLAUDE.md

3+
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Build System
6+
7+
This project uses [go-task](https://taskfile.dev) (`Taskfile.yml`) as the build orchestrator.
8+
9+
```sh
10+
task build # fmt + compile (CGO_ENABLED=0, PGO, stripped)
11+
task build-debug # fmt + compile with race detector (CGO_ENABLED=1)
12+
task lint # fmt + golangci-lint
13+
task fmt # gci + gofumpt + betteralign (Go sources)
14+
task fmt-bpf # clang-format on bpf/*.c / bpf/*.h
15+
task generate # go generate (recompile eBPF C → Go; requires clang)
16+
task update # go get -u && go mod tidy
17+
```
18+
19+
Plain `go build` also works for the Go userland (pre-compiled eBPF objects are committed).
20+
21+
## Architecture Overview
22+
23+
pktstat-bpf is a Linux eBPF packet statistics tool. It has two layers:
24+
25+
**eBPF layer (C, in `bpf/`):**
26+
- `bpf/counter.bpf.c` — packet/byte counting programs for TC (TCX ingress+egress), XDP (ingress only), KProbes (tcp/udp/icmp), and CGroup SKB hooks.
27+
- `bpf/cgroup.bpf.c` — raw tracepoint on `cgroup_mkdir` to push new CGroup path events to userspace via perf buffer.
28+
29+
**Userland layer (Go, root package `main`):**
30+
- `gen.go``//go:generate` directives that invoke `bpf2go` to compile each `.bpf.c` for `amd64` and `arm64`, producing `counter_{amd64,arm64}_bpfel.{go,o}` and `cgroup_{amd64,arm64}_bpfel.{go,o}`.
31+
- `main.go` — program entry: loads both eBPF objects, resolves interface, selects capture mode (TC / XDP / KProbes / CGroup), runs TUI or CLI loop.
32+
- `probe.go``startTC`, `startXDP`, `startKProbes`, `startCgroup`, `startCGroupTrace`: attach eBPF programs to hooks.
33+
- `map.go` — reads `PktCount` eBPF LRU hash map; prefers `BatchLookup` (kernel ≥5.6), falls back to iterator.
34+
- `cgroup.go` — builds and maintains a `cgroup-id → path` cache by walking `/sys/fs/cgroup` and consuming perf events from `cgroup.bpf.c`.
35+
- `output.go``processMap`, sort functions (`bitrateSort`, etc.), `outputPlain`/`outputJSON`, bitrate formatting.
36+
- `tui.go` — rivo/tview TUI, refreshed on `--refresh` interval.
37+
- `flags.go` — flag parsing via `peterbourgon/ff/v4`; sets package-level pointers used throughout.
38+
- `types.go``statEntry` (per-flow stats struct) and `kprobeHook`.
39+
- `helpers.go``bytesToAddr`, `protoToString`, `findFirstEtherIface`.
40+
- `init.go` — version variables (`GitTag`, `GitCommit`, …) injected at link time.
41+
42+
## Capture Modes
43+
44+
Four mutually-exclusive modes selected at runtime:
45+
46+
| Flag | Mode | Kernel req |
47+
|------|------|-----------|
48+
| *(default)* | TC (TCX ingress + egress) | ≥6.6 |
49+
| `--xdp` | XDP (ingress only, no egress stats) | ≥5.9 |
50+
| `--kprobes` | KProbes + PID/CGroup tracking | ≥4.10 + BTF |
51+
| `--cgroup <path>` | CGroup SKB + PID tracking | ≥4.10 + BTF |
52+
53+
## Code Style & Tooling
54+
55+
- **Formatter chain**: `gci` (import grouping) → `gofumpt` (strict gofmt) → `betteralign` (struct field alignment). Run `task fmt` before committing.
56+
- **Linter**: `golangci-lint` v2 with `default: all` minus a handful of disabled linters listed in `.golangci.yml`. Run `task lint`.
57+
- **No CGO** in production builds (`CGO_ENABLED=0`). CGO is only re-enabled for the race-detector build.
58+
- **eBPF code generation**: only needed when changing `bpf/*.c` or `bpf/*.h`. Requires `clang` and the arch-specific BTF headers under `contrib/`. Run `task generate` then commit the updated `*_bpfel.{go,o}` files.
59+
- The `contrib/` directory contains vendored kernel BTF/vmlinux headers split by architecture (`amd64/`, `arm64/`).
