.SH "NAME"
ibv_poll_cq \- poll a completion queue (CQ)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.nf
.B #include <infiniband/verbs.h>

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B ibv_poll_cq()
polls the CQ
.I cq
for work completions and returns the first
.I num_entries
(or all available completions if the CQ contains fewer than this number) in the array
.I wc\fR.
The argument
.I wc
is a pointer to an array of ibv_wc structs, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

.PP
The attribute wc_flags describes the properties of the work completion. 
It is either 0 or the bitwise OR of one or more of the following flags:
.PP
.TP
.B IBV_WC_GRH \fR      GRH is present (valid only for UD QPs)
.TP
.B IBV_WC_WITH_IMM \fR Immediate data value is valid
.PP
Not all
.I wc
attributes are always valid. If the completion status is other than
.B IBV_WC_SUCCESS\fR,
only the following attributes are valid: wr_id, status, qp_num, and vendor_err.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
On success, 
.B ibv_poll_cq()
returns a non-negative value equal to the number of completions
found.  On failure, a negative value is returned.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
Each polled completion is removed from the CQ and cannot be returned to it.
.PP
The user should consume work completions at a rate that prevents CQ
overrun from occurrence.  In case of a CQ overrun, the async event
.B IBV_EVENT_CQ_ERR
will be triggered, and the CQ cannot be used.
