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 cod-
       ing 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.
