| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \fIrdma_client\fR [-s server_address] [-p server_port] |
| .fi |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| Uses synchronous librdmam calls to establish an RDMA connection between |
| two nodes. This example is intended to provide a very simple coding |
| example of how to use RDMA. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .TP |
| \-s server_address |
| Specifies the address of the system that the rdma_server is running on. |
| By default, the client will attempt to connect to the server using |
| 127.0.0.1. |
| .TP |
| \-p server_port |
| Specifies the port number that the server listens on. By default the server |
| listens on port 7471. |
| .SH "NOTES" |
| Basic usage is to start rdma_server, then connect to the server using the |
| rdma_client program. |
| .P |
| Because this test maps RDMA resources to userspace, users must ensure |
| that they have available system resources and permissions. See the |
| libibverbs README file for additional details. |
