umad_get_ca, umad_release_ca \- get and release InfiniBand device port attributes
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.nf

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B umad_get_ca()
gets the attributes of the InfiniBand device
.I ca_name\fR.
It fills
the
.I ca
structure with the device attributes specified by
the
.I ca_name
or with the default device attributes if
.I ca_name
is NULL.
.B umad_release_ca()
should be called before the
.I ca
structure is deallocated.
The argument
.I ca
is an
.I umad_ca_t
struct, as specified in <infiniband/umad.h>.
