+.SH "NAME"
+efadv \- Direct verbs for efa devices
+.br
+This provides low level access to efa devices to perform direct operations,
+without general branching performed by libibverbs.
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The libibverbs API is an abstract one. It is agnostic to any underlying
+provider specific implementation. While this abstraction has the advantage
+of user applications portability, it has a performance penalty. For some
+applications optimizing performance is more important than portability.
+
+The efa direct verbs API is intended for such applications.
+It exposes efa specific low level operations, allowing the application
+to bypass the libibverbs API.
+
+The direct include of efadv.h together with linkage to efa library will
+allow usage of this new interface.
