/*
* Minimal BPF assembler
*
* Instead of libpcap high-level filter expressions, it can be quite
* useful to define filters in low-level BPF assembler (that is kept
* close to Steven McCanne and Van Jacobson's original BPF paper).
* In particular for BPF JIT implementors, JIT security auditors, or
* just for defining BPF expressions that contain extensions which are
* not supported by compilers.
*
* How to get into it:
*
* 1) read Documentation/networking/filter.txt
* 2) Run `bpf_asm [-c] <filter-prog file>` to translate into binary
* blob that is loadable with xt_bpf, cls_bpf et al. Note: -c will
* pretty print a C-like construct.
