.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.LP 
\fIbatch_flag\fP
If non\-zero then signal only the batch job shell.
.TP 
\fIjob_id\fP
Slurm job id number.
.TP
\fIjob_step_id\fp
Slurm job step id number.
.TP
\fIsignal\fp
Signal to be sent to the job or job step.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
\fBslurm_kill_job\fR Request that a signal be sent to either the batch job shell 
(if \fIbatch_flag\fP is non\-zero) or all steps of the specified job. 
If the job is pending and the signal is SIGKILL, the job will be terminated immediately.
This function may only be successfully executed by the job's owner or user root.
.LP 
\fBslurm_kill_job_step\fR Request that a signal be sent to a specific job step. 
This function may only be successfully executed by the job's owner or user root.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.LP
On success, zero is returned. On error, \-1 is returned, and Slurm error code is set appropriately.
.SH "ERRORS"
.LP
\fBSLURM_PROTOCOL_VERSION_ERROR\fR Protocol version has changed, re\-link your code.
.LP
\fBESLURM_DEFAULT_PARTITION_NOT_SET\fR the system lacks a valid default partition.
.LP
\fBESLURM_INVALID_JOB_ID\fR the requested job id does not exist. 
.LP
\fBESLURM_JOB_SCRIPT_MISSING\fR the \fIbatch_flag\fP was set for a non\-batch job.
.LP
\fBESLURM_ALREADY_DONE\fR the specified job has already completed and can not be modified. 
.LP
\fBESLURM_ACCESS_DENIED\fR the requesting user lacks authorization for the requested action (e.g. trying to delete or modify another user's job). 
.LP
\fBESLURM_INTERCONNECT_FAILURE\fR failed to configure the node interconnect. 
.LP
\fBSLURM_PROTOCOL_SOCKET_IMPL_TIMEOUT\fR Timeout in communicating with

These functions are included in the libslurm library, 
which must be linked to your process for use
(e.g. "cc \-lslurm myprog.c").
