IBV_GET_DEVICE_LIST(3)	Libibverbs Programmer's Manual	IBV_GET_DEVICE_LIST(3)

NAME
       ibv_get_device_list,  ibv_free_device_list  -  get  and release list of
       available InfiniBand devices

SYNOPSIS
       #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

       struct ibv_device **ibv_get_device_list(int *num_devices);
       void ibv_free_device_list(struct ibv_device **list);

DESCRIPTION
       ibv_get_device_list() returns a	NULL-terminated	 array	of  InfiniBand
       devices	currently available.  The argument num_devices is optional; if
       not NULL, it is set to the number of devices returned in the array.

       ibv_free_device_list() frees the array  of  devices  list  returned  by
       ibv_get_device_list().

RETURN VALUE
       ibv_get_device_list()   returns	 the  array  of	 available  InfiniBand
       devices, or NULL if the request fails.

       ibv_free_device_list() returns no value.

NOTES
       Client code should  open	 all  the  devices  it	intends	 to  use  with
       ibv_open_device() before calling ibv_free_device_list().	 Once it frees
       the array with ibv_free_device_list(), it will be able to use only  the
       open devices; pointers to unopened devices will no longer be valid.
