.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.LP
.TP
\fIjob_msg\fP
Specifies the pointer to a job descriptor.
See slurm.h for full details on the data structure's contents.
.TP
\fIstep_msg\fP
Specifies the pointer to a step descriptor.
See slurm.h for full details on the data structure's contents.
.TP
\fIresp\fP
Array of error codes and job IDs.
Always use the \fBslurm_free_job_array_resp\fR function to release the memory
allocated to hold the error codes.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.TP 18
\fBslurm_init_job_desc_msg\fR
Initialize the contents of a job descriptor with default values.
Execute this function before issuing a request to submit or modify a job.
.TP
\fBslurm_init_update_step_msg\fR
Initialize the contents of a job step update descriptor with default values.
Execute this function before issuing a request to modify a job step.
.TP
\fBslurm_update_job\fR
Update a job with the changes made to the data structure passed as an argument
to the function.
.TP
\fBslurm_update_job2\fR
Update a job or job array with the changes made to the data structure passed
as an argument to the function.
Call the function \fBslurm_free_job_array_resp\fR to release memory allocated
for the response array.
.TP
\fBslurm_update_step\fR
Update a job step with the changes made to the data structure passed as an
argument to the function.
.TP
\fBslurm_free_job_array_resp\fR
Release memory allocated by the \fBslurm_suspend2\fR, \fBslurm_resume2\fR,
\fBslurm_requeue2\fR, and \fBslurm_update_job2\fR functions.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.LP
On success, zero is returned.
On error, \-1 is returned, and the Slurm error code is set appropriately.
The function \fBslurm_update_job2\fR returns zero if the \fIresp\fP array is
filled, in which the that array should be examined to determine the error codes
for individual tasks of a job array.
Then call the function \fBslurm_free_job_array_resp\fR to release memory
allocated for the response array.

.SH "ERRORS"
.LP
\fBSLURM_PROTOCOL_VERSION_ERROR\fR Protocol version has changed, re\-link your
code.
.LP
\fBESLURM_ACCESS_DENIED\fR The requesting user lacks authorization for
the requested action (e.g. trying to modify another user's job).
.LP
\fBESLURM_INVALID_JOB_ID\fR  Invalid job or step ID value.
.LP
\fBESLURM_INVALID_TIME_VALUE\fR  Invalid time value.
