The "rdma-core" is the userspace components for the Linux Kernel's drivers/infiniband subsystem. Specifically this contains the userspace libraries for the following device nodes: /dev/infiniband/uverbsX (libibverbs) /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm (librdmacm) /dev/infiniband/umadX (libibumad) Additional service daemons are provided for: srp_daemon (ib_srp.ko) iwpmd (for iwarp kernel providers) ibacm (for InfiniBand communication management assistant) The package "pandoc" (available on SlackBuilds.org) is an optional build-time dependency. Some man-pages will be missing if "pandoc" was unavailable when building the package "rdma-core".
