PARAMETERS
       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

DESCRIPTION
       The dat_ia_query() functions provides the Consumer with the IA  parame‐
       ters,  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 Provider 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	 sepa‐
       rate IA.

       Adapter name:

	   The	name  of  the  IA  controlled  by  the	Provider.  The same as
	   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.  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 maximum number of outstand‐
	   ing and in-progress Send, RDMA Read, RDMA Write DTOs, and RMR Binds
	   at any one time for any 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	 (con‐
	   nected) Endpoint with the IA as the target.

       Max outgoing RDMA Reads per EP:

	   Maximum  number  of	RDMA  Reads  that can be outstanding per (con‐
	   nected) Endpoint with the IA as the originator.

       Max EVDs:

	   Maximum number of Event Dispatchers that an IA can support.	An  IA
	   cannot  support  an	Event  Dispatcher  directly, but indirectly by
	   Transport-specific Objects,	for  example,  Completion  Queues  for
	   Infiniband™	and  VI.  The  Event  Dispatcher Objects can be shared
	   among multiple Providers 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 be implicit	to  transport-
	   specific  Object  entries.  For  example, 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.

       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	an  LMR.  Fre‐
	   quently, IAs on 32-bit architectures support only 32-bit local vir‐
	   tual 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	Providers  and
	   applications of this IA.

       Max RMR target address:

	   Highest  valid target address with the context of a local RMR. Fre‐
	   quently, IAs on 32-bit architectures support only 32-bit local vir‐
	   tual 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 the attribute. The second element is
	   the value of the attribute 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 attribute. 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.

       LMR memory types supported:

	   Memory types that LMR Create supports for memory registration. This
	   value  is  a	 union	of  LMR	 Memory	 Types	 DAT_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  buf‐
	   fer description (IOV list) after post DTO returns. The three values
	   are as follows:

	     ·	DAT_IOV_CONSUMER indicates that the Consumer has the ownership
		of the local buffer description after a post returns.

	     ·	DAT_IOV_PROVIDER_NOMOD	indicates  that the Provider 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.

	     ·	DAT_IOV_PROVIDER_MOD indicates that  the  Provider  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 Provider.

       Completion flags supported:

	   The following values for the completion  flag  DAT_COMPLETION_FLAGS
	   are	 supported   by	 the  Provider:	 DAT_COMPLETION_SUPPRESS_FLAG,
	   DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG,			   DAT_COMPLE‐
	   TION_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 Connection  Request.
	   For	the  Consumer it is DAT_PSP_CREATES_EP_NEVER. For the Provider
	   it  is  DAT_PSP_CREATES_EP_ALWAYS.  For  both  it  is  DAT_PSP_CRE‐
	   ATES_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  performance  on
	   the	Platform.  The DAT_OPTIMAL_ALIGMNEMT must be divisible by this
	   attribute value. The maximum allowed	 value	is  DAT_OPTIMAL_ALIGM‐
	   NEMT, 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.

	   The Provider should support merging of all event stream types.

	   The Consumer should check this attribute before requesting  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 the attribute. The second element is the
	   value of the attribute as a string.

RETURN VALUES
       DAT_SUCCESS	       The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER   Invalid parameter;

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE      Invalid DAT handle; ia_handle is invalid.
