The qselect utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume
of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported by the implementation:
-a [op]date_time
Restrict selection to a specific time, or a range of
times.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Execution_Time attribute is
related to the Epoch equivalent of the local time
expressed by the value of the date_time component of
the option-argument in the manner indicated by the
value of the op component of the option-argument.
The qselect utility shall accept a date_time component
of the option-argument that conforms to the syntax of
the time operand of the touch utility.
If the op component of the option-argument is not
presented to the qselect utility, the utility shall
select batch jobs for which the Execution_Time
attribute is equal to the date_time component of the
option-argument.
When comparing times, the qselect utility shall use the
following definitions for the op component of the
option-argument:
.eq. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
equal to the time represented by the date_time
component of the option-argument.
.ge. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
after or equal to the time represented by the
date_time component of the option-argument.
.gt. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
after the time represented by the date_time
component of the option-argument.
.lt. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
before the time represented by the date_time
component of the option-argument.
.le. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
before or equal to the time represented by the
date_time component of the option-argument.
.ne. The time represented by value of the
Execution_Time attribute of the batch job is
not equal to the time represented by the
date_time component of the option-argument.
The qselect utility shall accept the defined character
strings for the op component of the option-argument.
-A account_string
Restrict selection to the batch jobs charging a
specified account.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Account_Name attribute of the
batch job matches the value of the account_string
option-argument.
The syntax of the account_string option-argument is
unspecified.
-c [op]interval
Restrict selection to batch jobs within a range of
checkpoint intervals.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Checkpoint attribute relates to
the value of the interval component of the option-
argument in the manner indicated by the value of the op
component of the option-argument.
If the op component of the option-argument is omitted,
the qselect utility shall select batch jobs for which
the value of the Checkpoint attribute is equal to the
value of the interval component of the option-argument.
When comparing checkpoint intervals, the qselect
utility shall use the following definitions for the op
component of the option-argument:
.eq. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job equals the value of the interval
component of the option-argument.
.ge. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job is greater than or equal to the value
of the interval component option-argument.
.gt. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job is greater than the value of the
interval component option-argument.
.lt. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job is less than the value of the
interval component option-argument.
.le. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job is less than or equal to the value of
the interval component option-argument.
.ne. The value of the Checkpoint attribute of the
batch job does not equal the value of the
interval component option-argument.
The qselect utility shall accept the defined character
strings for the op component of the option-argument.
The ordering relationship for the values of the
interval option-argument is defined to be:
`n' .gt. `s' .gt. `c=minutes' .ge. `c'
When comparing Checkpoint attributes with an interval
having the value of the single character 'u', only
equality or inequality are valid comparisons.
-h hold_list
Restrict selection to batch jobs that have a specific
type of hold.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Hold_Types attribute matches the
value of the hold_list option-argument.
The qselect -h option shall accept a value for the
hold_list option-argument that is a string of
alphanumeric characters in the portable character set
(see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017,
Section 6.1, Portable Character Set).
The qselect utility shall accept a value for the
hold_list option-argument that is a string of one or
more of the characters 'u', 's', or 'o', or the single
character 'n'.
Each unique character in the hold_list option-argument
of the qselect utility is defined as follows, each
representing a different hold type:
u USER
s SYSTEM
o OPERATOR
If any of these characters are duplicated in the
hold_list option-argument, the duplicates shall be
ignored.
The qselect utility shall consider it an error if any
hold type other than 'n' is combined with hold type
'n'.
Strictly conforming applications shall not repeat any
of the characters 'u', 's', 'o', or 'n' within the
hold_list option-argument. The qselect utility shall
permit the repetition of characters, but shall not
assign additional meaning to the repeated characters.
An implementation may define other hold types. The
conformance document for an implementation shall
describe any additional hold types, how they are
specified, their internal behavior, and how they affect
the behavior of the utility.
-l resource_list
Restrict selection to batch jobs with specified
resource limits and attributes.
The qselect utility shall accept a resource_list
option-argument with the following syntax:
resource_name op value [,,resource_name op value,, ...]
When comparing resource values, the qselect utility
shall use the following definitions for the op
component of the option-argument:
.eq. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job
equals the value of the value component of the
option-argument.
.ge. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job is
greater than or equal to the value of the value
component of the option-argument.
.gt. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job is
greater than the value of the value component
of the option-argument.
.lt. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job is
less than the value of the value component of
the option-argument.
.ne. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job
does not equal the value of the value component
of the option-argument.
.le. The value of the resource of the same name in
the Resource_List attribute of the batch job is
less than or equal to the value of the value
component of the option-argument.
When comparing the limit of a Resource_List attribute
with the value component of the option-argument, if the
limit, the value, or both are non-numeric, only
equality or inequality are valid comparisons.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the values of the resource_names listed in the
resource_list option-argument match the corresponding
limits of the Resource_List attribute of the batch job.
Limits of resource_names present in the Resource_List
attribute of the batch job that have no corresponding
values in the resource_list option-argument shall not
be considered when selecting batch jobs.
-N name Restrict selection to batch jobs with a specified name.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Job_Name attribute matches the
value of the name option-argument. The string specified
in the name option-argument shall be passed,
uninterpreted, to the server. This allows an
implementation to match ``wildcard'' patterns against
batch job names.
An implementation shall describe in the conformance
document the format it supports for matching against
the Job_Name attribute.
-p [op]priority
Restrict selection to batch jobs of the specified
priority or range of priorities.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Priority attribute of the batch
job relates to the value of the priority component of
the option-argument in the manner indicated by the
value of the op component of the option-argument.
If the op component of the option-argument is omitted,
the qselect utility shall select batch jobs for which
the value of the Priority attribute of the batch job is
equal to the value of the priority component of the
option-argument.
When comparing priority values, the qselect utility
shall use the following definitions for the op
component of the option-argument:
.eq. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job equals the value of the priority
component of the option-argument.
.ge. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job is greater than or equal to the value
of the priority component option-argument.
.gt. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job is greater than the value of the
priority component option-argument.
.lt. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job is less than the value of the
priority component option-argument.
.lt. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job is less than or equal to the value of
the priority component option-argument.
.ne. The value of the Priority attribute of the
batch job does not equal the value of the
priority component option-argument.
-q destination
Restrict selection to the specified batch queue or
server, or both.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs that
are located at the destination indicated by the value
of the destination option-argument.
The destination defines a batch queue, a server, or a
batch queue at a server.
The qselect utility shall accept an option-argument for
the -q option that conforms to the syntax for a
destination. If the -q option is not presented to the
qselect utility, the utility shall select batch jobs
from all batch queues at the default batch server.
If the option-argument describes only a batch queue,
the qselect utility shall select only batch jobs from
the batch queue of the specified name at the default
batch server. The means by which qselect determines the
default server is implementation-defined.
If the option-argument describes only a batch server,
the qselect utility shall select batch jobs from all
the batch queues at that batch server.
If the option-argument describes both a batch queue and
a batch server, the qselect utility shall select only
batch jobs from the specified batch queue at the
specified server.
-r y|n Restrict selection to batch jobs with the specified
rerunability status.
The qselect utility shall select only batch jobs for
which the value of the Rerunable attribute of the batch
job matches the value of the option-argument.
The qselect utility shall accept a value for the
option-argument that consists of either the single
character 'y' or the single character 'n'. The
character 'y' represents the value TRUE, and the
character 'n' represents the value FALSE.
-s states Restrict selection to batch jobs in the specified
states.
The qselect utility shall accept an option-argument
that consists of any combination of the characters 'e',
'q', 'r', 'w', 'h', and 't'.
Conforming applications shall not repeat any character
in the option-argument. The qselect utility shall
permit the repetition of characters in the option-
argument, but shall not assign additional meaning to
repeated characters.
The qselect utility shall interpret the characters in
the states option-argument as follows:
e Represents the EXITING state.
q Represents the QUEUED state.
r Represents the RUNNING state.
t Represents the TRANSITING state.
h Represents the HELD state.
w Represents the WAITING state.
For each character in the states option-argument, the
qselect utility shall select batch jobs in the
corresponding state.
-u user_list
Restrict selection to batch jobs owned by the specified
user names.
The qselect utility shall select only the batch jobs of
those users specified in the user_list option-argument.
The qselect utility shall accept a user_list option-
argument that conforms to the following syntax:
username[@host][,,username[@host],, ...]
The qselect utility shall accept only one user name
that is missing a corresponding host name. The qselect
utility shall accept only one user name per named host.
