I named it ibverbs.h because it only works with infiniband/verbs.h anyway. People will need the later to use it. That's why I like ibverbs.h (or infiniband-verbs.h but it's very long). Apart from that, I don't really care. At least the Infiniband name still exists, while OpenIB/OFED/... is renamed almost every year :) By the way, this file actually only works for Linux so far. Unless we are sure we could make it work for non-Linux OS one day (might need the #ifdef LINUX to work in public headers), we could rename it to hwloc/linux-...verbs.h Brice
