syscall is a multiplexor for a range of different operations on extended
Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF).
just introduce the abv. early as possible,
I'd rather not. The universal feedback from everyone was
that eBPF name is ugly, awkward, hard to pronounce, hard to
remember, hard to spell, etc.
So I'm trying not to use it, if I can. Often when people
say 'bpf' they mean 'extended' one and
when they need to refer to old they say 'classic bpf'.
it is not abut the (e) is about the BPF. you say "Berkeley Packet Filter"
a few lines later. just move that in the first line where you are using BPF
as abbreviation. It is good practice to have an explaination before using
the abrev.
