Slurm(3) Perl API for libslurm

SYNOPSIS


use Slurm;
my $slurm = Slurm::new();
$nodes = $slurm->load_node();
unless($nodes) {
die "failed to load node info: " . $slurm->strerror();
}

DESCRIPTION

The Slurm class provides Perl interface of the SLURM API functions in "<slurm/slurm.h>", with some extra frequently used functions exported by libslurm.

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.
