IBV_RATE_TO_MBPS(3)

✨ ibv_rate_to_mbps(3) ✨

okay so bestie, this is the libibverbs programmer's manual page for ibv_rate_to_mbps and mbps_to_ibv_rate — two lil functions that literally just translate between the IB rate enumeration and plain old Mbit/sec 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the vibe:

#include <infiniband/verbs.h>

int ibv_rate_to_mbps(enum ibv_rate rate);

enum ibv_rate mbps_to_ibv_rate(int mbps);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first up, ibv_rate_to_mbps() — it takes that IB transmission rate enumeration (rate) and converts it into a number of Mbit/sec. fr fr, watch this: if rate is IBV_RATE_5_GBPS, you get 5000 back (because 5 Gbit/sec = 5000 Mbit/sec, math is mathing 🧮✨).

and then mbps_to_ibv_rate() is the reverse bestie — it takes a number of Mbit/sec (mult) and gives you back the IB transmission rate enumeration. so if mult is 5000, congrats, you get IBV_RATE_5_GBPS returned to you 🎀

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

• ibv_rate_to_mbps() — returns the number of Mbit/sec.
• mbps_to_ibv_rate() — returns the enumeration representing the IB transmission rate.
