# This is a Hello World example that uses BPF_PERF_OUTPUT.
# in this example bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid(), this helper
# works inside pid namespaces.
# bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() only returns the host pid outside any
# namespace and this will not work when the script is run inside a pid namespace.
