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.

ibnd_destroy_fabric() free all memory and resources associated with the fabric.

ibnd_debug() Set the debug level to be printed as library operations take place.

ibnd_show_progress() Indicate that the library should print debug output which shows it's progress through the fabric.

ibnd_set_max_smps_on_wire() Set the number of SMP's which will be issued on the wire simultaneously.

ibnd_discover_fabric() return NULL on failure, otherwise a valid ibnd_fabric_t object.

ibnd_destory_fabric(), ibnd_debug() NONE

ibnd_set_max_smps_on_wire() The previous value is returned

Discover the entire fabric connected to device mthca0 , port 1.

Discover only a single node and those nodes connected to it.
