RCOPY(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

rcopy — simple file copy over RDMA.

This page is from the librdmacm manual, bestie. It’s the RCOPY(1) page. Okay so, let’s get into it. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rcopy source server[:destination] [-p port]
rcopy [-p port]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

It uses sockets over RDMA interface to copy a source file to the specified destination. Periodt. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• source — the name and path of the source file to copy. Like, the file you’re sending, bestie. 🎀
• server — the name or address of the destination server. That’s where it’s going. 🦋
• :destination — an optional destination filename and path. If not given, the destination filename will match that of the source. So if you skip it, it’s giving same-name energy. 💅
• -p server_port — the server's port number. That’s the port, no cap. 🔥

💖 NOTES 💖

Basic usage is to start rcopy on a server system, then run rcopy sourcefile servername. The server application will continue to run after copying the file, but is currently single-threaded. So yeah, one thing at a time, bestie. 😭

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. Don’t skip that, fr fr. 🫶
