			     the created Endpoint belongs.

       pz_handle	     Handle for an instance of the Protection Zone.

       recv_evd_handle	     Handle for the Event Dispatcher where events  for
			     completions   of	incoming  (receive)  DTOs  are

       ep_handle	     Handle for the created instance of an Endpoint.

DESCRIPTION
       The dat_ep_create() function creates an instance of an Endpoint that is
       provided	 to  the  Consumer as ep_handle. The value of ep_handle is not
       defined if the DAT_RETURN is not DAT_SUCCESS.

       The Endpoint is created in the Unconnected state.

       Protection Zone pz_handle allows Consumers to control what local memory
       the Endpoint can access for DTOs and what memory remote RDMA operations
       can access over the connection  of  a  created  Endpoint.  Only	memory
       referred	 to  by	 LMRs and RMRs that match the Endpoint Protection Zone
       can be accessed by the Endpoint.

       The recv_evd_handle and request_evd_handle parameters  are  Event  Dis‐
       patcher	instances where the Consumer collects completion notifications
       of DTOs. Completions of Receive DTOs are	 reported  in  recv_evd_handle
       Event  Dispatcher,  and	completions of Send, RDMA Read, and RDMA Write
       DTOs are reported in request_evd_handle Event Dispatcher.  All  comple‐
       tion  notifications  of	RMR  bindings  are  reported  to a Consumer in
       request_evd_handle Event Dispatcher.

       All Connection events for the connected Endpoint are  reported  to  the
       Consumer through connect_evd_handle Event Dispatcher.

       The  ep_attributes  parameter  specifies	 the initial attributes of the
       created Endpoint. If the Consumer specifies NULL, the Provider fills it
       with its default Endpoint attributes. The Consumer might not be able to
       do any posts to the Endpoint or use the Endpoint in  connection	estab‐
       lishment	 until	certain	 Endpoint  attributes are set. Maximum Message
       Size and Maximum Recv DTOs are examples of such attributes.

RETURN VALUES
       DAT_SUCCESS		     The operation was successful.

       DAT_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES    The operation failed due to resource lim‐
				     itations.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE	     Invalid DAT handle.

       DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER	     Invalid  parameter.  One of the requested
				     EP parameters or attributes  was  invalid
				     or a combination of attributes or parame‐
				     ters is invalid.

       DAT_MODEL_NOT_SUPPORTED	     The requested Provider Model was not sup‐
				     ported.

USAGE
       The  Consumer  creates an Endpoint prior to the establishment of a con‐
       nection. The created Endpoint is in DAT_EP_STATE_UNCONNECTED. Consumers
       can do the following:

	   1.	  Request  a  connection  on  the Endpoint through dat_ep_con‐
		  nect(3DAT) or dat_ep_dup_connect(3DAT) for the  active  side
		  of the connection model.

	   2.	  Associate  the  Endpoint with the Pending Connection Request
		  that does not have an associated local Endpoint for  accept‐
		  ing  the  Pending  Connection Request for the passive/server
		  side of the connection model.

	   3.	  Create a Reserved Service Point with the  Endpoint  for  the
		  passive/server side of the connection model. Upon arrival of
		  a Connection Request on  the	Service	 Point,	 the  Consumer
		  accepts the Pending Connection Request that has the Endpoint
		  associated with it

       The Consumer cannot specify a request_evd_handle (recv_evd_handle) with
       Request	Completion Flags (Recv Completion Flags) that do not match the
       other Endpoint Completion Flags for the DTO/RMR completion streams that
       use  the	 same EVD. If request_evd_handle (recv_evd_handle) is used for
       an EVD that is fed by any event stream other than DTO or RMR completion
       event  streams, only DAT_COMPLETION_THRESHOLD is valid for Request/Recv
       Completion Flags for the Endpoint completion streams that use that EVD.
       If request_evd_handle (recv_evd_handle) is used for request (recv) com‐
       pletions of an Endpoint whose associated Request (Recv) Completion Flag
       attribute  is  DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG,	the Request Completion
       Flags and Recv Completion Flags for  all	 Endpoint  completion  streams
       that use the EVD must specify the same. Analogously, if recv_evd_handle
       is used for recv completions of an Endpoint whose associated Recv  Com‐
       pletion Flags attribute is DAT_COMPLETION_SOLICITED_WAIT, the Recv Com‐
       pletion Flags for all Endpoint Recv completion  streams	that  use  the
       same  EVD  must	specify the same Recv Completion Flags attribute value
       and the EVD cannot be used for any other event stream types.

       If EP is created with NULL attributes, Provider can fill them with  its
       own default values. The Consumer should not rely on the Provider-filled
       attribute defaults, especially for portable applications. The  Consumer
       cannot	do   any   operations  on  the	created	 Endpoint  except  for
       dat_ep_query(3DAT), dat_ep_get_status(3DAT),  dat_ep_modify(3DAT),  and
       dat_ep_free(3DAT), depending on the values that the Provider picks.

       The  Provider  is  encouraged  to  pick	up reasonable defaults because
       unreasonable values might restrict  Consumers  to  the  dat_ep_query(),
       dat_ep_get_status(), dat_ep_modify(), and dat_ep_free() operations. The
       Consumer should check what  values  the	Provider  picked  up  for  the
       attributes.  It is especially important to make sure that the number of
       posted operations is not too large to avoid EVD overflow. Depending  on
       the values picked up by the Provider, the Consumer might not be able to
       do any RDMA operations; it might only be able to send or	 receive  mes‐
       sages  of  very	small sizes, or it might not be able to have more than
       one segment in a buffer. Before doing any operations, except  the  ones
       listed above, the Consumer can configure the Endpoint using dat_ep_mod‐
       ify() to the attributes they want.

       One reason the Consumer might still want to  create  an	Endpoint  with
       Null  attributes	 is  for the Passive side of the connection establish‐
       ment, where the Consumer sets up Endpoint attributes based on the  con‐
       nection request of the remote side.

       Consumers  might	 want to create Endpoints with NULL attributes if End‐
       point properties are negotiated as part the Consumer connection	estab‐
       lishment protocol.

       Consumers that create Endpoints with Provider default attributes should
       always verify that the Provider default attributes meet their  applica‐
       tion's  requirements  with regard to the number of request/receive DTOs
       that can be posted, maximum message sizes, maximum request/receive  IOV
       sizes, and maximum RDMA sizes.
