.sp
.B char *pbs_locjob\^(\^int connect, char\ *job_id, char\ *extend\^)

.SH DESCRIPTION
Issue a batch request to locate a batch job.
If the server currently manages the batch job, or knows which server does
currently manage the job, it will reply with the location of the job.
.LP
A 
.I "Locate Job"
batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection
specified by
.I connect 
which is the return value of \f3pbs_connect\f1().
.LP
The argument,
.I job_id ,
identifies which job is to be located, it is specified in the form:
.RS 4
.I "sequence_number.server"
.RE
.LP
The argument,
.I extend ,
is reserved for implementation-defined extensions.  It is not currently 
used by this function.
.LP
The return value is a pointer to a character sting which contains the
current location if known.
The syntax of the location string is:
.RS 4
.I "server_name" 
.RE
If the location of the job is not known, the return value is the NULL pointer.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
When the batch request generated by the \f3pbs_locjob\f1()
function has been completed successfully
by a batch server, the routine will return a non null pointer to the
destination.
Otherwise, a null pointer is returned.  The error number is set in pbs_errno.
