.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B ibv_open_xrcd()
open an XRC domain for the RDMA device context
.I context
.I xrcd_init_attr
is an ibv_xrcd_init_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.
.PP
.nf
struct ibv_xrcd_init_attr {
.in +8
uint32_t         comp_mask;  /* Identifies valid fields */
int              fd;
int              oflag;
.fi
.PP
.I fd
is the file descriptor to associate with the XRCD.
.I oflag
describes the desired creation attributes.  It is a bitwise OR of zero or more
of the following flags:
.PP
.TP
.B O_CREAT
Indicates that an XRCD should be created and associated with the inode referenced
by the given fd.  If the XRCD exists, this flag has no effect except as noted under
.BR O_EXCL
below.\fR
.TP
.B O_EXCL
If
.BR O_EXCL
and
.BR O_CREAT
are set, open will fail if an XRCD associated with the inode exists.
.PP
If
.I fd
equals -1, no inode is associated with the XRCD. To indicate that XRCD should be created, use
.I oflag
=
.B O_CREAT\fR.
.PP
.B ibv_close_xrcd()
closes the XRCD
.I xrcd\fR.
If this is the last reference, the XRCD will be destroyed.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.B ibv_open_xrcd()
returns a pointer to the opened XRCD, or NULL if the request fails.
.PP
.B ibv_close_xrcd()
returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the
failure reason).
.SH "NOTES"
.B ibv_close_xrcd()
may fail if any other resource is still associated with the XRCD being closed.
