#include <infiniband/verbs.h> 

int ibv_query_device(struct ibv_context *context, 
                     struct ibv_device_attr *device_attr); 

ibv_query_device() returns the attributes of the device with context context. The argument device_attr is a pointer to an ibv_device_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

ibv_query_device() returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).

The maximum values returned by this function are the upper limits of supported resources by the device. However, it may not be possible to use these maximum values, since the actual number of any resource that can be created may be limited by the machine configuration, the amount of host memory, user permissions, and the amount of resources already in use by other users/processes.
