+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B ibnd_discover_fabric()
+Discover the fabric connected to the port specified by ibmad_port, using a timeout specified. The "from" and "hops" parameters are optional and allow one to scan part of a fabric by specifying a node "from" and a number of hops away from that node to scan, "hops". This gives the user a "sub-fabric" which is "centered" anywhere they chose.
+
+ibmad_port must be opened with at least IB_SMI_CLASS and IB_SMI_DIRECT_CLASS
+classes for ibnd_discover_fabric to work.
+
+.B ibnd_destroy_fabric()
+free all memory and resources associated with the fabric.
+
+.B ibnd_debug()
+Set the debug level to be printed as library operations take place.
+
+.B ibnd_show_progress()
+Indicate that the library should print debug output which shows it's progress
+through the fabric.
+
+.B ibnd_set_max_smps_on_wire()
+Set the number of SMP\'s which will be issued on the wire simultaneously.
+
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B ibnd_discover_fabric()
+return NULL on failure, otherwise a valid ibnd_fabric_t object.
+
+.B ibnd_destory_fabric(), ibnd_debug()
+NONE
+
+.B ibnd_set_max_smps_on_wire()
+The previous value is returned
+
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+
+.B Discover the entire fabric connected to device "mthca0", port 1.
+
+ int mgmt_classes[2] = {IB_SMI_CLASS, IB_SMI_DIRECT_CLASS};
+ struct ibmad_port *ibmad_port = mad_rpc_open_port(ca, ca_port, mgmt_classes, 2);
