We'd better add a sanity check here to prevent setting invalid
program type. Plase have a look at

This makes libbpf.h depend on kernel's uapi/linux/bpf.h.
Although I did this in the above patch, I don't like this
dependency. This is the reason why I introduce

int bpf_program__set_tracepoint(struct bpf_program *prog);
int bpf_program__set_kprobe(struct bpf_program *prog);

bool bpf_program__is_tracepoint(struct bpf_program *prog);
bool bpf_program__is_kprobe(struct bpf_program *prog);

and hide bpf_program__set_type inside the .c file.

Please add type setting functions, or pass int value to
bpf_program__set_type and add sanity checking.

Thank you.

[PATCH net-next 2/2] tools lib bpf: export function to set type

[Eric Leblond]

Current API was not allowing the user to set a type like socket
filter. To avoid a setter function for each type, the patch simply
exports a set function that takes the type in parameter.
