DESCRIPTION

       The drmaa_allocate_job_template() function allocates a new DRMAA job
       template into jt. DRMAA job templates describe specifics of jobs that
       are submitted using drmaa_run_job(3) and drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(3).

   drmaa_delete_job_template()
       The drmaa_delete_job_template() function releases all resources
       associated with the DRMAA job template jt. Jobs that were submitted
       using the job template are not affected.

   drmaa_set_attribute()
       The drmaa_set_attribute() function stores the value under name for the
       given DRMAA job template, jt.  Only non-vector attributes may be
       passed.

   drmaa_get_attribute()
       The drmaa_get_attribute() function returns into value up to value_len
       bytes from the string stored for the non-vector attribute, name, in the
       DRMAA job template, jt.

   drmaa_set_vector_attribute()
       The drmaa_set_vector_attribute() function stores the strings in value
       under name in the list of vector attributes for the given DRMAA job
       template, jt.  Only vector attributes may be passed. The value pointer
       array must be NULL terminated.

   drmaa_get_vector_attribute()
       The drmaa_get_vector_attribute() function returns into values a DRMAA
       attribute string vector containing all string values stored in the
       vector attribute, name.  The values in the DRMAA values string vector
       can be extracted using drmaa_get_next_attr_value(3).  The caller is
       responsible for releasing the DRMAA values string vector returned into
       values using drmaa_release_attr_values(3).

   drmaa_get_next_attr_value()
       Each time drmaa_get_next_attr_value() is called it returns into value
       up to value_len bytes of the next entry stored in the DRMAA values
       string vector, values.  Once the values list has been exhausted,
       DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_MORE_ELEMENTS is returned.

   drmaa_get_num_attr_values()
       The drmaa_get_num_attr_values() returns into size the number of entries
       in the DRMAA values string vector.  This function is only available in
       the 1.0 implementation.

   drmaa_release_attr_values()
       The drmaa_release_attr_values() function releases all resources
       associated with the DRMAA values string vector, values.


ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard
                      configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell to be
                      used. To address a Grid Engine cell Grid Engine uses (in
                      the order of precedence):

                             The name of the cell specified in the environment
                             variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. default.


       SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                      If set, specifies that debug information should be
                      written to stderr. In addition the level of detail in
                      which debug information is generated is defined.

       SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                      If set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_qmaster(8)
                      is expected to listen for communication requests.  Most
                      installations will use a services map entry instead to
                      define that port.


RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, drmaa_allocate_job_template(),
       drmaa_delete_job_template(), drmaa_set_attribute(),
       drmaa_get_attribute(), drmaa_set_vector_attribute(),
       drmaa_get_vector_attribute(), and drmaa_get_next_attr_value() return
       DRMAA_ERRNO_SUCCESS. Other values indicate an error.  Up to
       error_diag_len characters of error related diagnosis information is
       then provided in the buffer error_diagnosis.


ERRORS

       The drmaa_allocate_job_template(), drmaa_delete_job_template(),
       drmaa_set_attribute(), drmaa_get_attribute(),
       drmaa_set_vector_attribute(), drmaa_get_vector_attribute(), and
       drmaa_get_next_attr_value() functions will fail if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INTERNAL_ERROR
       Unexpected or internal DRMAA error, like system call failure, etc.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_DRM_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
       Could not contact DRM system for this request.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_AUTH_FAILURE
       The specified request is not processed successfully due to
       authorization failure.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ARGUMENT
       The input value for an argument is invalid.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_ACTIVE_SESSION
       Failed because there is no active session.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_MEMORY
       Failed allocating memory.

       The drmaa_set_attribute() and drmaa_set_vector_attribute() will fail
       if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
       The format for the attribute value is invalid.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
       The value for the attribute is invalid.

   DRMAA_ERRNO_CONFLICTING_ATTRIBUTE_VALUES
       The value of this attribute is conflicting with a previously set
       attributes.

       The drmaa_get_attribute() and drmaa_get_vector_attribute() will fail
       if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
       The specified attribute is not set in the DRMAA job template.

       The drmaa_get_next_attr_value() will fail if:

   DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
       When there are no more entries in the vector.
