 Description: A library for direct userspace use of InfiniBand
  libibverbs is a library that allows userspace processes to use
  InfiniBand "verbs" as described in the InfiniBand Architecture
- Specification.  This includes direct hardware access for fast path
- operations.
+ Specification.  InfiniBand is a high-throughput, low-latency
+ networking technology.  InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCAs)
+ commonly support direct hardware access from userspace (kernel
+ bypass), and libibverbs supports this when available.
  .
  For this library to be useful, a device-specific plug-in module
  should also be installed.
  .
  This package contains the shared library.
