Hi all, just a quick question regarding Slurm API.
In the following call, (checkpoint.c) /* * slurm_checkpoint_complete - note the completion of a job step's checkpoint operation. * IN job_id - job on which to perform operation * IN step_id - job step on which to perform operation * IN begin_time - time at which checkpoint began * IN error_code - error code, highest value for all complete calls is preserved * IN error_msg - error message, preserved for highest error_code * RET 0 or a slurm error code */ extern int slurm_checkpoint_complete (uint32_t job_id, uint32_t step_id, time_t begin_time, uint32_t error_code, char *error_msg); what is error_code employed for? man says "Error code for checkpoint operation. Only the highest value is preserved." but given that it is an input parameter I don't really see the sense, moreover given that another error code is returned by the function. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks for your attention.
