## NAME



           ibv_modify_qp - modify the attributes of a queue pair (QP)
    


## SYNOPSIS



           **#include <infiniband/verbs.h>**
    
           **int ibv_modify_qp(struct ibv_qp** _*qp_**, struct ibv_qp_attr** _*attr_**,**
                             **int** _attr_mask_**);**
    


## DESCRIPTION



           **ibv_modify_qp()** modifies the attributes of QP _qp_ with the
           attributes in _attr_ according to the mask _attr_mask_.  The argument
           _attr_ is an ibv_qp_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

           The argument _attr_mask_ specifies the QP attributes to be modified.
           The argument is either 0 or the bitwise OR of one or more of the
           following flags:

## RETURN VALUE



           **ibv_modify_qp()** returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on
           failure (which indicates the failure reason).
    


## NOTES



           If any of the modify attributes or the modify mask are invalid,
           none of the attributes will be modified (including the QP state).
    
           Not all devices support resizing QPs.  To check if a device
           supports it, check if the **IBV_DEVICE_RESIZE_MAX_WR** bit is set in
           the device capabilities flags.
    
           Not all devices support alternate paths.  To check if a device
           supports it, check if the **IBV_DEVICE_AUTO_PATH_MIG** bit is set in
           the device capabilities flags.

           the minimum list of attributes that must be changed upon
