ia_handle Handle for an open instance of an IA.
async_evd_handle Handle for an Event Dispatcher for
asynchronous events generated by the IA.ia_attr_mask Mask for the ia_attributes.
ia_attributes Pointer to a Consumer-allocated
structure that the Provider fills with IA attributes.provider_attr_mask Mask for the provider_attributes.
provider_attributes Pointer to a Consumer-allocated
structure that the Provider fills with Provider attributes.DESCRIPTION
The dat_ia_query() functions provides the Consumer with the
IA parameters, as well as the IA and Provider attributes.Consumers pass in pointers to Consumer-allocated structures
for the IA and Provider attributes that the Provider fills.The ia_attr_mask and provider_attr_mask parameters allow the
Consumer to specify which attributes to query. The ProviderSunOS 5.11 Last change: 16 Jul 2004 1

returns values for requested attributes. The Provider can also return values for any of the other attributes. Interface Adapter Attributes The IA attributes are common to all open instances of the IA. DAT defines a method to query the IA attributes but does not define a method to modify them. If IA is multiported, each port is presented to a Consumer as a separate IA. Adapter name: The name of the IA controlled by the Provider. The sameas ia_name_ptr.
Vendor name: Vendor if IA hardware. HW version major: Major version of IA hardware. HW version minor: Minor version of IA hardware. Firmware version major: Major version of IA firmware. Firmware version minor: Minor version of IA firmware.IA_address_ptr:
An address of the interface Adapter. Max EPs: Maximum number of Endpoints that the IA can support.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 16 Jul 2004 2

This covers all Endpoints in all states, including the ones used by the Providers, zero or more applications, and management. Max DTOs per EP:Maximum number of DTOs and RMR_binds that any Endpoint
can support for a single direction. This means the max-
imum number of outstanding and in-progress Send, RDMA
Read, RDMA Write DTOs, and RMR Binds at any one time forany Endpoint; and maximum number of outstanding and in-
progress Receive DTOs at any one time for any Endpoint. Max incoming RDMA Reads per EP: Maximum number of RDMA Reads that can be outstanding per (connected) Endpoint with the IA as the target. Max outgoing RDMA Reads per EP: Maximum number of RDMA Reads that can be outstanding per (connected) Endpoint with the IA as the originator. Max EVDs:Maximum number of Event Dispatchers that an IA can sup-
port. An IA cannot support an Event Dispatcher directly,but indirectly by Transport-specific Objects, for exam-
ple, Completion Queues for Infiniband and VI. The EventDispatcher Objects can be shared among multiple Provid-
ers and similar Objects from other APIs, for example, Event Queues for uDAPL. Max EVD queue size: Maximum size of the EVD queue supported by an IA. Max IOV segments per DTO: Maximum entries in an IOV list that an IA supports. Notice that this number cannot be explicit but must beimplicit to transport-specific Object entries. For exam-
ple, for IB, it is the maximum number of scatter/gather entries per Work Request, and for VI it is the maximum number of data segments per VI Descriptor.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 16 Jul 2004 3

Max LMRs: Maximum number of Local Memory Regions IA supports among all Providers and applications of this IA. Max LMR block size: Maximum contiguous block that can be registered by the IA. Mac LMR VA: Highest valid virtual address within the context of anLMR. Frequently, IAs on 32-bit architectures support
only 32-bit local virtual addresses.
Max PZs: Maximum number of Protection Zones that the IA supports. Max MTU size: Maximum message size supported by the IA Max RDMA size: Maximum RDMA size supported by the IA Max RMRs:Maximum number of RMRs an IA supports among all Provid-
ers and applications of this IA. Max RMR target address: Highest valid target address with the context of a localRMR. Frequently, IAs on 32-bit architectures support
only 32-bit local virtual addresses.
Num transport attributes:Number of transport-specific attributes.

Transport-specific attributes:
Array of transport-specific attributes. Each entry has
the format of DAT_NAMED_ATTR, which is a structure with
two elements. The first element is the name of theattribute. The second element is the value of the attri-
bute as a string. Num vendor attributes:Number of vendor-specific attributes.
Vendor-specific attributes:
Array of vendor-specific attributes. Each entry has the
format of DAT_NAMED_ATTR, which is a structure with two
elements. The first element is the name of the attri-
bute. The second element is the value of the attribute as a string. DAPL Provider Attributes The provider attributes are specific to the open instance of the IA. DAT defines a method to query Provider attributes but does not define a method to modify them. Provider name: Name of the Provider vendor. Provider version major: Major Version of uDAPL Provider. Provider version minor: Minor Version of uDAPL Provider. DAPL API version major: Major Version of uDAPL API supported. DAPL API version minor: Minor Version of uDAPL API supported.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 16 Jul 2004 5

LMR memory types supported:Memory types that LMR Create supports for memory regis-
tration. This value is a union of LMR Memory TypesDAT_MEM_TYPE_VIRTUAL, DAT_MEM_TYPE_LMR, and
DAT_MEM_TYPE_SHARED_VIRTUAL that the Provider supports.
All Providers must support the following Memory Types:DAT_MEM_TYPE_VIRTUAL, DAT_MEM_TYPE_LMR, and
DAT_MEM_TYPE_SHARED_VIRTUAL.
IOV ownership: An enumeration flag that specifies the ownership of the local buffer description (IOV list) after post DTO returns. The three values are as follows:o DAT_IOV_CONSUMER indicates that the Consumer
has the ownership of the local buffer descrip-
tion after a post returns.o DAT_IOV_PROVIDER_NOMOD indicates that the Pro-
vider still has ownership of the local buffer description of the DTO when the post DTO returns, but the Provider does not modify the buffer description.o DAT_IOV_PROVIDER_MOD indicates that the Pro-
vider still has ownership of the local buffer description of the DTO when the post DTO returns and can modify the buffer description. In any case, the Consumer obtains ownership of the local buffer description after the DTO transfer is completed and the Consumer is notified through a DTO completion event. QOS supported:The union of the connection QOS supported by the Pro-
vider. Completion flags supported: The following values for the completion flagDAT_COMPLETION_FLAGS are supported by the Provider:
DAT_COMPLETION_SUPPRESS_FLAG,
DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG,
DAT_COMPLETION_SOLICITED_WAIT_FLAG, and
DAT_COMPLETION_BARRIER_FENCE_FLAG.

Thread safety: Provider Library thread safe or not. The Provider Library is not required to be thread safe. Max private data size: Maximum size of private data the Provider supports. This value is at least 64 bytes. Multipathing support: Capability of the Provider to support Multipathing for connection establishment. EP creator for PSP:Indicator for who can create an Endpoint for a Connec-
tion Request. For the Consumer it isDAT_PSP_CREATES_EP_NEVER. For the Provider it is
DAT_PSP_CREATES_EP_ALWAYS. For both it is
DAT_PSP_CREATES_EP_IFASKED. This attribute is used for
Public Service Point creation. PZ support: Indicator of what kind of protection the Provider's PZ provides. Optimal Buffer Alignment:Local and remote DTO buffer alignment for optimal per-
formance on the Platform. The DAT_OPTIMAL_ALIGMNEMT must
be divisible by this attribute value. The maximumallowed value is DAT_OPTIMAL_ALIGMNEMT, or 256.
EVD stream merging support: A 2D binary matrix where each row and column represent an event stream type. Each binary entry is 1 if the event streams of its row and column can be fed to the same EVD, and 0 otherwise. More than two different event stream types can feed the same EVD if for each pair of the event stream types the entry is 1.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 16 Jul 2004 7

The Provider should support merging of all event stream types.The Consumer should check this attribute before request-
ing an EVD that merges multiple event stream types. Num provider attributes:Number of Provider-specific attributes.
Provider-specific attributes:
Array of Provider-specific attributes. Each entry has
the format of DAT_NAMED_ATTR, which is a structure with
two elements. The first element is the name of theattribute. The second element is the value of the attri-
bute as a string.RETURN VALUES
DAT_SUCCESS The operation was successful.
DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER Invalid parameter;
