man/fi_tagged: Remove the peek for data ability
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, no providers support returning message data
for peek operations. It also has a contradiction on
the usage of cq_entry's buf field with fi_cq man page. The
latter one says the buf field only applies when the receive
buffer was posted with the FI_MULTI_RECV flag.

Remove this paragraph to avoid confusion.

available CQ data, tag, and source address. The data available is subject to
the completion entry format (e.g. struct fi_cq_tagged_entry).

An application may supply a buffer if it desires to receive data as
a part of the peek operation. In order to receive data as a part of
the peek operation, the buf and len fields must be available in the
CQ format. In particular, FI_CQ_FORMAT_CONTEXT and FI_CQ_FORMAT_MSG
cannot be used if peek operations desire to obtain a copy of the
data. The returned data is limited to the size of the input
buffer(s) or the message size, if smaller. A provider indicates if
data is available by setting the buf field of the CQ entry to the
user's first input buffer. If buf is NULL, no data was available to
return. A provider may return NULL even if the peek operation
completes successfully. Note that the CQ entry len field will
reference the size of the message, not necessarily the size of the
returned data.
