+/* This set of attributes controls behavior of the
+ * test_loader.c:test_loader__run_subtests().
+ *
+ * The test_loader sequentially loads each program in a skeleton.
+ * Programs could be loaded in privileged and unprivileged modes.
+ * - __success, __failure, __msg imply privileged mode;
+ * - __success_unpriv, __failure_unpriv, __msg_unpriv imply
+ *   unprivileged mode.
+ * If combination of privileged and unprivileged attributes is present
+ * both modes are used. If none are present privileged mode is implied.
+ *
+ * See test_loader.c:set_admin() for exact set of capabilities that
+ * differ between privileged and unprivileged modes.
+ *
+ * For test filtering purposes the name of the program loaded in
+ * unprivileged mode is derived from the usual program name by adding
+ * `@unpriv' suffix.
+ *
+ * __msg             Message expected to be found in the verifier log.
+ *                   Multiple __msg attributes could be specified.
+ * __msg_unpriv      Same as __msg but for unprivileged mode.
+ *
+ * __success         Expect program load success in privileged mode.
+ * __success_unpriv  Expect program load success in unprivileged mode.
+ *
+ * __failure         Expect program load failure in privileged mode.
+ * __failure_unpriv  Expect program load failure in unprivileged mode.
+ *
+ * __description     Text to be used instead of a program name for display
+ *                   and filtering purposes.
+ *
+ * __log_level       Log level to use for the program, numeric value expected.
+ *
+ * __flag            Adds one flag use for the program, the following values are valid:
+ *                   - BPF_F_STRICT_ALIGNMENT;
+ *                   - BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32;
+ *                   - BPF_F_TEST_STATE_FREQ;
+ *                   - BPF_F_SLEEPABLE;
+ *                   - BPF_F_XDP_HAS_FRAGS;
+ *                   - A numeric value.
+ *                   Multiple __flag attributes could be specified, the final flags
+ *                   value is derived by applying binary "or" to all specified values.
