[openib-general] Re: [OpenSM] SA database query tool

[Eitan Zahavi]

Hi Again,

Ibis is currently under:
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/utils/src/linux-user/ibis
A doc regarding how to write SA client queries is available in the file:
doc/ibis_wrap.html

If you will need more info or examples I will be happy to provide them.
