A reference to a communication identifier where the message buffer

with the rdma_cm_id. The contents of the posted buffer will be sent
to the remote peer of a connection.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Returns 0 on success, or -1 on error. If an error occurs, errno will be
set to indicate the failure reason.
.SH "NOTES"
The user is responsible for ensuring that the remote peer has queued a
receive request before issuing the send operations. For a list of
supported flags, see ibv_post_send. Unless the send request is using
inline data, the message buffer must have been registered
before being posted, with the mr parameter referencing the registration.
The buffer must remain registered until the send completes.
.P
Send operations may not be posted to an rdma_cm_id or the corresponding
queue pair until it has been connected.

The user-defined context associated with the send request will be
returned to the user through the work completion wr_id, work request
