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 run-
ning 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.
ATTRIBUTES

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.
