NAME

       rdma_xclient - RDMA CM communication client test program

SYNOPSIS

       rdma_xclient [-s server_address] [-p server_port] [-c comm_type]

DESCRIPTION

       Uses  synchronous  librdmam calls to establish an RDMA connection between two nodes.  This
       example is intended to provide a very simple coding example of how to use RDMA.

OPTIONS

       -s server_address
              Specifies the address of the  system  that  the  rdma_server  is  running  on.   By
              default, the client will attempt to connect to the server using 127.0.0.1.

       -p server_port
              Specifies  the  port  number  that  the  server  listens on.  By default the server
              listens on port 7471.

       -c communication type
              Specifies the type of communication  established  with  the  server  program.   'r'
              results  in  using  a  reliable-connected  QP  (the  default).   'x'  uses extended
              reliable-connected XRC QPs.

NOTES

       Basic usage is to start rdma_xserver, then connect to the  server  using  the  rdma_client
       program.

       Because  this  test  maps  RDMA  resources  to userspace, users must ensure that they have
       available system resources and permissions.  See the libibverbs README file for additional
       details.
