NAME         top

       mlx5dv_get_export_sizes - Query export buffer sizes for mlx5
       objects

SYNOPSIS         top

              #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>

              struct mlx5dv_export_sizes {
                  uint32_t var_attrs_size;
                  uint32_t devx_umem_attrs_size;
                  uint32_t devx_obj_attrs_size;
              };

              void mlx5dv_get_export_sizes(struct mlx5dv_export_sizes *sizes);

DESCRIPTION         top

       mlx5dv_get_export_sizes() returns the buffer sizes required by the
       export/import APIs for each supported object type.  The caller
       should use these sizes to allocate data buffers before calling the
       corresponding export/import functions.

       The returned sizes reflect the library’s internal data layout and
       may change between library versions.

ARGUMENTS         top

              Buffer size required for mlx5dv_var_export() /
              mlx5dv_var_import().
