# NAME

rdma_establish - Complete an active connection request.

# SYNOPSIS

```c
#include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>

int rdma_establish(struct rdma_cm_id *id);
```

# DESCRIPTION

**rdma_establish()** Acknowledge an incoming connection response event and complete the connection establishment.

Notes:

If a QP has not been created on the rdma_cm_id, this function should be called by the active side to complete the connection,

after getting connect response event.

This will trigger a connection established event on the passive side.

This function should not be used on an rdma_cm_id on which a QP has been created.

# ARGUMENTS

*id*
:    RDMA identifier.

# RETURN VALUE

**rdma_establish()** returns 0 on success, or -1 on error.  If an error occurs, errno will be set to indicate the failure reason.
