rdma_create_id - Allocate a communication identifier. "#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>"

"int" rdma_create_id "(struct rdma_event_channel *" channel "," "struct rdma_cm_id **" id "," "void *" context "," "enum rdma_port_space " ps ");"

The communication channel that events associated with the allocated rdma_cm_id will be reported on. A reference where the allocated communication identifier will be returned. User specified context associated with the rdma_cm_id. RDMA port space. Creates an identifier that is used to track communication information. Rdma_cm_id's are conceptually equivalent to a socket for RDMA communication. The difference is that RDMA communication requires explicitly binding to a specified RDMA device before communication can occur, and most operations are asynchronous in nature. Communication events on an rdma_cm_id are reported through the associated event channel. Users must release the rdma_cm_id by calling rdma_destroy_id. Details of the services provided by the different port spaces are outlined below. Provides reliable, connection-oriented QP communication. Unlike TCP, the RDMA port space provides message, not stream, based communication. Provides unreliable, connectionless QP communication. Supports both datagram and multicast communication. rdma_cm(7), rdma_create_event_channel(3), rdma_destroy_id(3), rdma_get_devices(3), rdma_bind_addr(3), rdma_resolve_addr(3), rdma_connect(3), rdma_listen(3), rdma_set_option(3)
