NAME

       dat_ep_reset - transition the local Endpoint from a Disconnected to an Unconnected state

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_ep_reset (
	   IN	 DAT_EP_HANDLE	  ep_handle
	   )

PARAMETERS

       ep_handle       Handle for an instance of Endpoint.

DESCRIPTION

       The dat_ep_reset() function transitions the local Endpoint from a Disconnected to an Unconnected state.

       The operation might cause the loss of any completions of previously posted DTOs and RMRs that were not dequeued yet.

       The  dat_ep_reset()  function  is valid for both Disconnected and Unconnected states. For Unconnected state, the operation is no-op because
       the Endpoint is already in an Unconnected state. For an Unconnected state, the preposted Recvs are not affected by the call.

RETURN VALUES

       DAT_SUCCESS	       The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE      ep_handle is invalid.

       DAT_INVALID_STATE       Parameter in an invalid state. Endpoint is not in the valid state for reset.

USAGE

       If the Consumer wants to ensure that all Completions are dequeued, the Consumer can post DTO or RMR  operations	as  a  "marker"  that  are
       flushed	to recv_evd_handle or request_evd_handle. Now, when the Consumer dequeues the completion of the "marker" from the EVD, it is guar-
       anteed that all previously posted DTO and RMR completions for the Endpoint were dequeued for that EVD. Now,  it is safe to reset  the  End-
       point without losing any completions.
