Subskeletons are headers which require an already loaded program to operate. For example, when a BPF library is linked into a larger BPF object file, the library userspace needs a way to access its own global variables without requiring knowledge about the larger program at build time. As a result, subskeletons require a loaded bpf_object to open(). Further, they find their own symbols in the larger program by walking BTF type data at run time. At this time, programs, maps, and globals are supported through non-owning pointers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
