- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The status of a batch job, batch queue, or batch server is obtained by
- a request to the server. The
- .IR qstat
- utility is a user-accessible batch client that requests the status of
- one or more batch jobs, batch queues, or servers, and writes the status
- information to standard output.
- .P
- For each successfully processed batch
- .IR job_identifier ,
- the
- .IR qstat
- utility shall display information about the corresponding batch job.
- .P
- For each successfully processed destination, the
- .IR qstat
- utility shall display information about the corresponding batch queue.
- .P
- For each successfully processed server name, the
- .IR qstat
- utility shall display information about the corresponding server.
- .P
- The
- .IR qstat
- utility shall acquire batch job status information by sending a
- .IR "Job Status Request"
- to a batch server. The
- .IR qstat
- utility shall acquire batch queue status information by sending a
- .IR "Queue Status Request"
- to a batch server. The
- .IR qstat
- utility shall acquire server status information by sending a
- .IR "Server Status Request"
- to a batch server.
- .SH OPTIONS

- .IR qstat
- utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
- .IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines".

- .IP "\fB\-f\fR" 10
- Specify that a full display is produced.
- .RS 10
- .P
- The minimum contents of a full display are specified in the STDOUT
- section.
- .P

- implementation-defined.
- .RE
- .IP "\fB\-Q\fR" 10
- Specify that the operand is a destination.
- .RS 10
- .P
- The
- .IR qstat
- utility shall display information about each batch queue at each
- destination identified as an operand.
- .RE

- Specify that the operand is a server name.
- .RS 10
- .P
- The
- .IR qstat
- utility shall display information about each server identified as an
- operand.
- .RE
- .SH OPERANDS
- If the
- .BR \-Q
- option is presented to the
- .IR qstat
- utility, the utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to
- the syntax for a destination (see
- .IR "Section 3.3.2" ", " "Destination").
- .P
- If the
- .BR \-B
- option is presented to the
- .IR qstat
- utility, the utility shall accept one or more
- .IR server_name
- operands.
- .P
- If neither the
- .BR \-B
- nor the
- .BR \-Q
- option is presented to the
- .IR qstat
- utility, the utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to
- the syntax for a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- (see
- .IR "Section 3.3.1" ", " "Batch Job Identifier").
- .SH STDIN
- Not used.
- .SH "INPUT FILES"
- None.
- .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
- The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
- .IR qstat :
- .IP "\fIHOME\fP" 10
- Determine the pathname of the user's home directory.
- .IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
- Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
- unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
- .IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
- the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the
- values of locale categories.)
- .IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
- other internationalization variables.
- .IP "\fILC_COLLATE\fP" 10
- .br
- Determine the locale for the behavior of ranges, equivalence classes,
- and multi-character collating elements within regular expressions.
- .IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
- text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
- multi-byte characters in arguments).
- .IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
- .br
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
- contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

- .SH RATIONALE
- The
- .IR qstat
- utility allows users to display the status of jobs and list the
- batch jobs in queues.
- .P
- The operands of the
- .IR qstat
- utility may be either job identifiers, queues (specified as destination
- identifiers), or batch server names. The
- .BR \-Q
- and
- .BR \-B
- options, or absence thereof, indicate the nature of the operands.
- .P
- The other options of the
- .IR qstat
- utility allow the user to control the amount of information displayed
- and the format in which it is displayed. Should a user wish to display
- the status of a set of jobs that match a selection criteria, the
- .IR qselect
- utility may be used to acquire such a list.
- .P
- The
- .BR \-f
- option allows users to request a ``full'' display in an
- implementation-defined format.
- .P
- Historically, the
- .IR qstat
- utility has been a part of the NQS and its derivatives, the existing
- practice on which it is based.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- The
- .IR qstat
- utility may be removed in a future version.
