NAME

       umad_send - send umad

SYNOPSIS

       #include <infiniband/umad.h>

       int umad_send(int portid, int agentid, void *umad, int timeout_ms, int retries);

DESCRIPTION

       umad_send()  sends the specified umad buffer from the port specified by
       portid, and using the agent specified by agentid.  timeout_ms  controls
       the solicited MADs behavior as follows: zero value means not solicited.
       Positive value makes kernel indicate timeout in milliseconds. If  reply
       is  not  received  within  the  specified value, the original buffer is
       returned in the read channel with the status field set (to  non  zero).
       Negative  timeout_ms  makes kernel wait forever for the reply.  retries
       indicates the number of times the MAD will be retried before giving up.

RETURN VALUE

       umad_send()  returns  0  on  success,  and a negative value on error as
       follows:
        -EINVAL invalid port handle or agentid
        -EIO    send operation failed
