SYNOPSIS #include <infiniband/verbs.h>
struct ibv_context *ibv_open_device(struct ibv_device *device);
int ibv_close_device(struct ibv_context *context);
DESCRIPTION ibv_open_device() opens the device device and creates a context for further use.
ibv_close_device() closes the device context context.
RETURN VALUE ibv_open_device() returns a pointer to the allocated device context, or NULL if the request fails.
