METHODS¶

To use the API, first create a Slurm object:

    $slurm = Slurm::new($conf);

Then call the desired functions:

    $resp = $slurm->load_jobs();

In the following "METHODS" section, if a parameter is omitted, it will be listed as "param=val" , where "val" is the default value of the parameter.

DATA STRUCTURES¶

Typically, C structures are converted to (maybe blessed) Perl hash references, with field names as hash keys. Arrays in C are converted to arrays in Perl. For example, there is a structure "job_info_msg_t":

    typedef struct job_info_msg {
        time_t last_update;     /* time of latest info */
        uint32_t record_count;  /* number of records */
        job_info_t *job_array;  /* the job records */
    } job_info_msg_t;

This will be converted to a hash reference with the following structure:

    {
        last_update => 1285847672,
        job_array => [ {account => 'test', alloc_node => 'ln0', alloc_sid => 1234, ...},
                       {account => 'debug', alloc_node => 'ln2', alloc_sid => 5678, ...},
                       ...
                     ]
    }

Note the missing of the "record_count" field in the hash. It can be derived from the number of elements in array "job_array".

To pass parameters to the API functions, use the corresponding hash references, for example:

    $rc = $slurm->update_node({node_names => 'node[0-7]', node_state => NODE_STATE_DRAIN});

Please see "<slurm/slurm.h>" for the definition of the structures.

CONSTANTS¶

The enumerations and macro definitions are available in the Slurm package. If ':constant' is given when using the Slurm package, the constants will be exported to the calling package.

Please see Slurm::Constant for the available constants.

JOB/NODE STATE TESTING FUNCTIONS¶

The following are functions to test job/node state, based on the macros defined in src/common/slurm_protocol_defs.h. The functions take a parameter of a hash reference of a job/node, and return a boolean value. For job, $job->{job_state} is tested. For node, $node->{node_state} is tested.
