SYNOPSIS

#include <gspool.h>

int gspool_joblist(const int fd, const unsigned flags, int *numjobs, slotno_t **slots)

DESCRIPTION

The gspool_joblist() function is used to obtain a list of jobs.

fd is a file descriptor previously returned by gspool_open

flags is zero, or a logical OR of one or more of the following values

GSPOOL_FLAG_LOCALONLY

Ignore remote printers/hosts, i.e. not local to the server, not the client.

GSPOOL_FLAG_USERONLY

Ignore other users jobs

numjobs is a pointer to an integer value which, on successful completion, will contain the number of job slots returned.

slots is a pointer to to an array of slot numbers. These slot numbers can be used to access individual jobs. The memory used by this vector is owned by the API, therefore no attempt should be made by the user to free it.

RETURN VALUES

The function gspool_joblist() returns 0 if successful, otherwise one of the following codes:

GSPOOL_INVALID_FD

Invalid File descriptor

GSPOOL_BADWRITE

failure writing to the network

GSPOOL_BADREAD

failure reading from the network

NOTES

The value assigned to *slots is owned by the API, so the user should not attempt to free it. This contrasts, for example, with X library routines.

Also note that certain other calls to the API, notably gspool_ptrlist, may reuse the space, so the contents should be copied if required before other API calls are made.

EXAMPLE

An example to list all jobs:

 int fd, ret, nj, i;
 slotno_t *slots;
 fd = gspool_open("myhost", (char *) 0, 0);
 if (fd < 0) { /* error handling */
     ...
 }
 ret = gspool_joblist(fd, 0, &nj, &slots);
 if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
     ...
 }
 for (i = 0; i < nj; i++) {
     slotno_t this_slot = slots[i];
     /* process this_slot */
     ...
 }
 gspool_close(fd);
