    SYNOPSIS
         #include "drmaa.h"

         int drmaa_run_job(
              char *job_id,
              size_t job_id_len,
              drmaa_job_template_t *jt,
              char *error_diagnosis,
              size_t error_diag_len
         );

         int drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(
              drmaa_job_ids_t **jobids,
              drmaa_job_template_t *jt,
              int start,
              int end,

              char *error_diagnosis,
              size_t error_diag_len
         );

         int drmaa_get_next_job_id(
              drmaa_job_ids_t* values,
              char *value,
              int value_len
         );

         void drmaa_release_job_ids(
              drmaa_job_ids_t* values
         );

    DESCRIPTION
         drmaa_run_job() submits an Grid Engine job  with  attributes
         defined  in  the  DRMAA  job  template, jt. On success up to
         job_id_len bytes of the job identifier are returned into the
         buffer, job_id.

      drmaa_run_bulk_jobs()
         The drmaa_run_bulk_jobs() submits a Grid  Engine  array  job
         very  much  as if the qsub(1) option `-t start-end:incr' had
         been used along with the additional  attributes  defined  in
         the  DRMAA job template, jt.  The same constraints regarding
         value ranges are also in effect for  the  parameters  start,
         end,  and  incr as for qsub(5) -t. On success a DRMAA job id
         string vector containing job identifiers for each array  job
         task is returned into jobids. The job identifiers in the job
         id    string    vector    can     be     extracted     using
         drmaa_get_next_job_id(3).   The  caller  is  responsible for
         releasing the job id  string  vector  returned  into  jobids
         using drmaa_release_job_ids(3).

      drmaa_get_next_job_id()
         Each time drmaa_get_next_job_id() is called it returns  into
         the  buffer,  value, up to value_len bytes of the next entry
         stored in the DRMAA job id string vector, values.

      drmaa_release_job_ids()
         The  drmaa_release_attr_job_id()   function   releases   all
         resources  associated  with  the DRMAA job id string vector,
         values. This operation has no  effect  on  the  actual  Grid
         Engine array job tasks.

    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  pre-
                        cedence):

                             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 com-
                        munication requests.  Most installations will
                        use  a  services  map entry instead to define
                        that port.

    RETURN VALUES
         Upon      successful      completion,       drmaa_run_job(),
         drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(),  and  drmaa_get_next_job_id()  return
         DRMAA_ERRNO_SUCCESS. Other values indicate an error.  Up  to
         error_diag_len  characters of error related diagnosis infor-
         mation is then provided in the buffer error_diagnosis.

    ERRORS
         The     drmaa_run_job(),     drmaa_run_bulk_jobs(),      and
         drmaa_get_next_job_id() 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_run_job() and drmaa_run_bulk_jobs() functions will
         fail if:

      DRMAA_ERRNO_TRY_LATER
         The DRM system indicated that it is too busy to  accept  the
         job. A retry may succeed, however.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_DENIED_BY_DRM
         The DRM system rejected the  job.  The  job  will  never  be
         accepted due to DRM configuration or job template settings.

         The drmaa_get_next_job_id() will fail if:

      DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
         When there are no more entries in the vector.
