gspool_jobupd(3)

NAME

gspool_jobupd - update the details of a job

SYNOPSIS

#include <gspool.h>

int gspool_jobupd(const int fd, const unsigned flags, const slotno_t
slot, struct apispq * jobd)

DESCRIPTION

The ggssppooooll__jjoobbuuppdd(()) function is used to update the details of a job.

fd is a file descriptor previously returned by gspool_open

flags is zero, or "GSPOOL_FLAG_IGNORESEQ" to ignore changes since the list was last read.

slot is the slot number corresponding to the job as previously returned by gspool_joblist or gspool_jobfindslot.

jobd is a descriptor containing the job descriptor as defined in gspool.h. The fields in struct apispq are defined in the documentation for gspool_jobread(3).

Note that we recommend that the whole structure be first read in with
gspool_jobread or gspool_jobfind and then required fields updaated;
this approach will cover any future extensions with additional fields.

RETURN VALUES

The function gspool_jobupd() returns 0 if successful, otherwise one of the following codes:

GSPOOL_BAD_PRIORITY
The job's priority is outside the range for the user, or it
cannot be changed by the user.
GSPOOL_INVALID_FD
Invalid File descriptor
GSPOOL_BADWRITE
failure writing to the network
GSPOOL_BADREAD
failure reading from the network
GSPOOL_NOPERM
The user does not have permission
GSPOOL_ZERO_CLASS
A class code of zero is illegal
GSPOOL_BAD_COPIES
The copies field is outside the limit for the user
GSPOOL_BAD_FORM
The form type filed has been left empty
GSPOOL_SEQUENCE
Sequence error, slot may be out of date
GSPOOL_UNKNOWN_JOB
Job not found
GSPOOL_INVALIDSLOT
Invalid slot number

EXAMPLE

An example to change the name of job "readme.txt" to "myfile"
int fd, ret, nj, i;
struct apispq job;
slotno_t *slots;
fd = gspool_open("myhost", (char *) 0, 0);
if (fd < 0) { /* error handling */
...
}
/* make a list of jobs */
ret = gspool_joblist(fd, 0, &nj, &slots);
if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
...
}
for (i = 0; i < nj; i++) {
ret = gspool_jobread(fd, 0, list[i], &job);
if (ret < 0)
continue;
if (strcmp(job.apispq_file, "readme.txt"))
continue;
strcpy(job.apispq_file, "myfile");
ret = gspool_jobupd(fd, 0, list[i], &job);
if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
...
}
break;
}
gspool_close(fd);
