HNSDV(7)

💅 HNSDV — hnsdv(7) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to HNSDV, aka the direct verbs manual for your hns devices — and yes the whole thing lives in section 7 of the manual, we're fancy like that 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hnsdv — direct verbs for hns devices, periodt 💖

so like, this gives you low level access to hns devices so you can do direct operations, without all the general branching that libibverbs would normally do for you. no middleman energy, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the libibverbs API is an abstract one. it literally does not care about any underlying provider-specific implementation. it's giving "provider agnostic icon" and honestly? iconic of it.

but bestie, there's a tradeoff 😭 — while this abstraction has the advantage of user applications portability, it comes with a performance penalty. like, you get to move your app anywhere but it costs you speed, and that's the vibe check it fails.

besides that, some provider specific features that are directly facing users are just… not available through libibverbs 🙈. and for some applications, these demands are more important than portability. priorities, bestie, we all have them 💅

so the hns direct verbs API is intended for such applications 🔥 — it exposes hns specific low level operations, letting your application bypass the libibverbs API entirely and enable some hns specific features. main character energy fr fr 👑

the direct include of hnsdv.h together with linkage to the hns library will allow usage of this new interface ✨ — that's literally the whole unlock, include the header, link the library, slay 🌈
