+.B ibv_create_qp()
+creates a queue pair (QP) associated with the protection domain
+.I pd\fR.
+The argument

+is an ibv_qp_init_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.

+The function
+.B ibv_create_qp()
+will update the
+.I qp_init_attr\fB\fR->cap
+struct with the actual \s-1QP\s0 values of the QP that was created;
+the values will be greater than or equal to the values requested.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_qp()
+destroys the QP
+.I qp\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.B ibv_create_qp()
+returns a pointer to the created QP, or NULL if the request fails.
+Check the QP number (\fBqp_num\fR) in the returned QP.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_qp()
+returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
+.SH "NOTES"
+.B ibv_create_qp()
+will fail if a it is asked to create QP of a type other than
+.B IBV_QPT_RC
+or
+.B IBV_QPT_UD
+associated with an SRQ.
+.PP
+The attributes max_recv_wr and max_recv_sge are ignored by
+.B ibv_create_qp()
+if the QP is to be associated with an SRQ.
+.PP
+.B ibv_destroy_qp()
+fails if the QP is attached to a multicast group.
