* Description
* Iterate and fetch multiple elements in a map.
*
+ * Two opaque values are used to manage batch operations,
+ * *in_batch* and *out_batch*. Initially, *in_batch* must be set
+ * to NULL to begin the batched operation. After each subsequent
+ * **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH**, the caller should pass the resultant
+ * *out_batch* as the *in_batch* for the next operation to
+ * continue iteration from the current point.
+ *
+ * The *keys* and *values* are output parameters which must point
+ * to memory large enough to hold *count* items based on the key
+ * and value size of the map *map_fd*. The *keys* buffer must be
+ * of *key_size* * *count*. The *values* buffer must be of
+ * *value_size* * *count*.
+ *
+ * The *elem_flags* argument may be specified as one of the
+ * following:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_LOCK**
+ * Look up the value of a spin-locked map without
+ * returning the lock. This must be specified if the
+ * elements contain a spinlock.
+ *
+ * On success, *count* elements from the map are copied into the
+ * user buffer, with the keys copied into *keys* and the values
+ * copied into the corresponding indices in *values*.
+ *
+ * If an error is returned and *errno* is not **EFAULT**, *count*
+ * is set to the number of successfully processed elements.
+ *
* Return
* Returns zero on success. On error, -1 is returned and *errno*
* is set appropriately.
*
+ * May set *errno* to **ENOSPC** to indicate that *keys* or
+ * *values* is too small to dump an entire bucket during
+ * iteration of a hash-based map type.

* BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_BATCH
* Description
- * Iterate and delete multiple elements in a map.
+ * Iterate and delete all elements in a map.
+ *
+ * This operation has the same behavior as
+ * **BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_BATCH** with two exceptions:
+ *
+ * * Every element that is successfully returned is also deleted
+ * from the map. This is at least *count* elements. Note that
+ * *count* is both an input and an output parameter.
+ * * Upon returning with *errno* set to **EFAULT**, up to
+ * *count* elements may be deleted without returning the keys
+ * and values of the deleted elements.
