+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B ibv_create_comp_channel()
+creates a completion event channel for the RDMA device context
+.I context\fR.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_comp_channel()
+destroys the completion event channel
+.I channel\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B ibv_create_comp_channel()
+returns a pointer to the created completion event channel, or NULL if the request fails.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_comp_channel()
+returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
+.SH "NOTES"
+A "completion channel" is an abstraction introduced by libibverbs that
+does not exist in the InfiniBand Architecture verbs specification or
+RDMA Protocol Verbs Specification. A completion channel is
+essentially file descriptor that is used to deliver completion
+notifications to a userspace process. When a completion event is
+generated for a completion queue (CQ), the event is delivered via the
+completion channel attached to that CQ. This may be useful to steer
+completion events to different threads by using multiple completion
+channels.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_comp_channel()
+fails if any CQs are still associated with the completion event
+channel being destroyed.
