flux_shell_get_jobspec_info(3)

SYNOPSIS

#include <flux/shell.h>
#include <errno.h>

int flux_shell_get_jobspec_info (flux_shell_t *shell,
                                 char **json_str);

int flux_shell_jobspec_info_unpack (flux_shell_t *shell,
                                    const char *fmt,
                                    ...);

DESCRIPTION

flux_shell_get_jobspec_info() returns jobspec summary information from the flux job shell as a json string. The only key guaranteed to be in the returned JSON object is the jobspec version, e.g.

::

{"version": 1}

For jobspec version 1, the following keys are also available:

{
  "ntasks":i,         # number of tasks requested
  "nslots":i,         # number of task slots
  "cores_per_slot":i  # number of cores per task slot
  "nnodes":i          # number of nodes requested, -1 if unset
  "slots_per_node":i  # number of slots per node, -1 if unavailable
 }

This summary information is derived from the jobspec by the shell and is shared with plugins in order to avoid duplication of effort.

Currently only version 1 jobspec is supported.

flux_shell_jobspec_info_unpack() accomplishes the same thing with Jansson-style formatting arguments.

RETURN VALUE

All functions return 0 on success and -1 on error.

ERRORS

EINVAL

if shell is NULL, or either json_str or fmt are NULL, or if shell_rank is less than -1.
