IBND_FIND_NODE_GUID(3)

✨ IBND_FIND_NODE_GUID ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the IBND_FIND_NODE_GUID(3) page from the OpenIB Programmer's Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of a bop, so let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibnd_find_node_guid, ibnd_find_node_dr — so basically you hand over a fabric object and these little icons go find the node object inside it that matches the guid or the directed route you specified 🔍✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <infiniband/ibnetdisc.h>

ibnd_node_t *ibnd_find_node_guid(ibnd_fabric_t *fabric, uint64_t guid)
ibnd_node_t *ibnd_find_node_dr(ibnd_fabric_t *fabric, char *dr_str)

like. the header. the two functions. that's the whole vibe check right there 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• ibnd_find_node_guid() — you give it a fabric object and a guid, and it hands back the ibnd_node_t object that has that node guid. it's giving "search bar but for infiniband" 🔎
• ibnd_find_node_dr() — you give it a fabric object and a directed route, and it hands back the ibnd_node_t object with that directed route. same energy, different lookup key 🌈

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

both ibnd_find_node_guid() and ibnd_find_node_dr() return NULL on failure 😭 — otherwise you get a valid ibnd_node_t object and you can celebrate 🎉

no cap: if it comes back NULL, that's not it, bestie. the lookup did not slay.
