bpfman-crictl

Documentation

Overview

Package main implements bpfman-crictl, a minimal crictl replacement for bpfman-operator.

This is a cut-down version of crictl that implements only the specific functionality needed by bpfman-operator for container PID discovery:

• pods --name <name> -o json (list pods by exact name)
• ps --pod <pod-id> -o json (list containers in a pod)
• inspect -o json <container-id> (inspect container for PID)

Unlike the full crictl implementation, this version:

• Uses exact string matching for pod names instead of regex matching
• Only supports JSON output format
• Implements timeout-based socket discovery matching crictl's behavior
• Provides a native Go CRI gRPC client instead of external process calls

This eliminates the external crictl dependency while maintaining functionality for bpfman-operator's container discovery use case.
