[PATCH] libbpf: Added the description of some API functions

From: Xin Liu
Date: Sat Dec 24 2022 - 06:21:28 EST


Currently, many API functions are not described in the document.
I have tried to add the API description of the following four API
functions:
libbpf_set_print
bpf_object__open
bpf_object__load
bpf_object__close
