NAME

       efadv - Direct verbs for efa devices

       This  provides  low  level  access to efa devices to perform direct operations, without general branching
       performed by libibverbs.

DESCRIPTION

       The libibverbs API is an abstract one.  It is agnostic to any underlying  provider  specific  implementa‐
       tion.   While  this  abstraction has the advantage of user applications portability, it has a performance
       penalty.  For some applications optimizing performance is more important than portability.

       The efa direct verbs API is intended for such applications.  It exposes efa  specific  low  level  opera‐
       tions, allowing the application to bypass the libibverbs API.

       The  direct  include  of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library will allow usage of this new inter‐
       face.
