NAME         top

       rdma_join_multicast - Joins a multicast group.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <rdma/rdma_cma.h>

       int rdma_join_multicast (struct rdma_cm_id *id, struct sockaddr
       *addr, void *context);

ARGUMENTS         top

       id          Communication identifier associated with the request.

       addr        Multicast address identifying the group to join.

       context     User-defined context associated with the join
                   request.

DESCRIPTION         top

       Joins a multicast group and attaches an associated QP to the
       group.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error.  If an error occurs, errno
       will be set to indicate the failure reason.

NOTES         top

       Before joining a multicast group, the rdma_cm_id must be bound to
       an RDMA device by calling rdma_bind_addr or rdma_resolve_addr.
       Use of rdma_resolve_addr requires the local routing tables to
       resolve the multicast address to an RDMA device, unless a
       specific source address is provided.  The user must call
       rdma_leave_multicast to leave the multicast group and release any
       multicast resources.  After the join operation completes, if a QP
       is associated with the rdma_cm_id, it is automatically attached
       to the multicast group when the multicast event is retrieved by
       the user.  Otherwise, the user is responsible for calling
       ibv_attach_mcast to bind the QP to the multicast group.  The join
       context is returned to the user through the private_data field in
       the rdma_cm_event.
