.SH NAME
|
|
rdma_getaddrinfo \- Provides transport independent address translation.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>"
|
|
.P
|
|
.B "int" rdma_getaddrinfo
|
|
.BI "(const char *" node ","
|
|
.BI "const char *" service ","
|
|
.BI "const struct rdma_addrinfo *" hints ","
|
|
.BI "struct rdma_addrinfo **" res ");"
|
|
.SH ARGUMENTS
|
|
.IP "node" 12
|
|
Optional, name, dotted-decimal IPv4, or IPv6 hex address to resolve.
|
|
.IP "service" 12
|
|
Service name or port number of address.
|
|
.IP "hints" 12
|
|
Reference to an rdma_addrinfo structure containing hints about the type
|
|
of service the caller supports.
|
|
.IP "res" 12
|
|
A pointer to a linked list of rdma_addrinfo structures containing response
|
|
information.
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
Resolves the destination node and service address and returns
|
|
information needed to establish communication. Provides the
|
|
RDMA functional equivalent to getaddrinfo.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be
|
|
set to indicate the failure reason.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
Either node, service, or hints must be provided. If hints are provided, the
|
|
operation will be controlled by hints.ai_flags. If RAI_PASSIVE is
|
|
specified, the call will resolve address information for use on the
|
|
passive side of a connection.
|
|
If node is provided, rdma_getaddrinfo will attempt to resolve the RDMA address,
|
|
route, and connection data to the given node. The hints parameter, if provided,
|
|
may be used to control the resulting output as indicated below.
|
|
If node is not given, rdma_getaddrinfo will attempt to resolve the RDMA addressing
|
|
information based on the hints.ai_src_addr, hints.ai_dst_addr, or hints.ai_route.
|
|
.SH "rdma_addrinfo"
|
|
.IP "ai_flags" 12
|
|
Hint flags that control the operation. Supported flags are:
|
|
.IP "RAI_PASSIVE" 12
|
|
Indicates that the results will be used on the passive/listening
|
|
side of a connection.
|
|
.IP "RAI_NUMERICHOST" 12
|
|
If specified, then the node parameter, if provided, must be a numerical
|
|
network address. This flag suppresses any lengthy address resolution.
|
|
.IP "RAI_NOROUTE" 12
|
|
If set, this flag suppresses any lengthy route resolution.
|
|
.IP "RAI_FAMILY" 12
|
|
If set, the ai_family setting should be used as an input hint for interpretting
|
|
the node parameter.
|
|
.IP "ai_family" 12
|
|
Address family for the source and destination address. Supported families
|
|
are: AF_INET, AF_INET6, and AF_IB.
|
|
.IP "ai_qp_type" 12
|
|
Indicates the type of RDMA QP used for communication. Supported types are:
|
|
IBV_UD (unreliable datagram) and IBV_RC (reliable connected).
|
|
.IP "ai_port_space" 12
|
|
RDMA port space in use. Supported values are: RDMA_PS_UDP, RDMA_PS_TCP,
|
|
and RDMA_PS_IB.
|
|
.IP "ai_src_len" 12
|
|
The length of the source address referenced by ai_src_addr. This will be 0
|
|
if an appropriate source address could not be discovered for a given
|
|
destination.
|
|
.IP "ai_dst_len" 12
|
|
The length of the destination address referenced by ai_dst_addr. This
|
|
will be 0 if the RAI_PASSIVE flag was specified as part of the hints.
|
|
.IP "ai_src_addr" 12
|
|
If provided, the address for the local RDMA device.
|
|
.IP "ai_dst_addr" 12
|
|
If provided, the address for the destination RDMA device.
|
|
.IP "ai_src_canonname" 12
|
|
The canonical for the source.
|
|
.IP "ai_dst_canonname" 12
|
|
The canonical for the destination.
|
|
.IP "ai_route_len" 12
|
|
Size of the routing information buffer referenced by ai_route. This will
|
|
be 0 if the underlying transport does not require routing data, or none
|
|
could be resolved.
|
|
.IP "ai_route" 12
|
|
Routing information for RDMA transports that require routing data as part
|
|
of connection establishment. The format of the routing data depends on
|
|
the underlying transport. If Infiniband transports are
|
|
used, ai_route will reference an array of struct ibv_path_data on output,
|
|
if routing data is available. Routing paths may be restricted by setting
|
|
desired routing data fields on input to rdma_getaddrinfo. For Infiniband,
|
|
hints.ai_route may reference an array of struct ibv_path_record or
|
|
struct ibv_path_data on input.
|
|
.IP "ai_connect_len" 12
|
|
Size of connection information referenced by ai_connect. This will be
|
|
0 if the underlying transport does not require additional connection
|
|
information.
|
|
.IP "ai_connect" 12
|
|
Data exchanged as part of the connection establishment process. If provided,
|
|
ai_connect data must be transferred as private data, with any user supplied
|
|
private data following it.
|
|
.IP "ai_next" 12
|
|
Pointer to the next rdma_addrinfo structure in the list. Will be NULL
|
|
if no more structures exist.
