UMAD_INIT(3) OpenIB Programmer’s ManualUMAD_INIT(3)umad_init, umad_done - perform library initialization and finalization
#include <infiniband/umad.h> int umad_init(void); int umad_done(void);
umad_init()andumad_done()do nothing.
Always 0.
Versions prior to release 18 of the library requireumad_init()to be called prior to using any other library functions. Old versions could return a failure code of -1 fromumad_init(). For compatibility, applications should continue to callumad_init(), and check the return code, prior to calling otherumad_functions. Ifumad_init()returns an error, then no further use of the umad library should be attempted.
