NAME

       ibv_query_gid_table - query an InfiniBand device’s GID table

SYNOPSIS

              #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

              ssize_t ibv_query_gid_table(struct ibv_context *context,
                                          struct ibv_gid_entry *entries,
                                          size_t max_entries,
                                          uint32_t flags);

DESCRIPTION

       ibv_query_gid_table()  returns  the  valid  GID  table  entries of the RDMA device context context at the
       pointer entries.

       A caller must allocate entries array for the GID table entries it desires to  query.   This  API  returns
       only valid GID table entries.

       A  caller  must  pass  non  zero number of entries at max_entries that corresponds to the size of entries
       array.

       entries array must be allocated such that it can contain all the valid GID table entries of  the  device.
       If  there  are  more valid GID entries than the provided value of max_entries and entries array, the call
       will fail.  For example, if an RDMA device context has a total of 10 valid GID entries, entries should be
       allocated for at least 10 entries, and max_entries should be set appropriately.

ARGUMENTS

       context
              The context of the device to query.

       entries
              Array of ibv_gid_entry structs where the GID entries are returned.  Please see ibv_query_gid_ex(3)
              man page for ibv_gid_entry.

       max_entries
              Maximum number of entries that can be returned.

       flags  Extra fields to query post entries->ndev_ifindex, for now must be 0.

RETURN VALUE

       ibv_query_gid_table() returns the number of entries that were read on success or negative errno value  on
       error.  Number of entries returned is <= max_entries.
