ib_send_cm_req(9)

💌 ib_send_cm_req(9) — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition ✨

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and yes, the whole thing lives under the header ib_send_cm_req(9) — that's literally the name, we're not being weird about it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ib_send_cm_req — bestie, this one sends a connection request to the remote node. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Like sliding into the remote node's DMs but, y'know, with RDMA 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ib_send_cm_req (struct ib_cm_id *cm_id , struct ib_cm_req_param
*param );

Not me copying the signature character for character because that's literally the whole point 🎀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• cm_id — the connection identifier that will be associated with the connection request. Think of it as the little name tag your request wears so everyone knows which connection it belongs to 👑
• param — the connection request information needed to establish the connection. It's giving "everything you need to get this connection going," all bundled up and ready 🌈
