This document describes the C language binding for the Distributed Resource Management Application API Version 2 (DRMAA). The intended audience for this specification are DRMAA implementors.
 
The Distributed Resource Management Application API Version 2 (DRMAA) specification defines an inter- face for tightly coupled, but still portable access to the majority of DRM systems. The scope is limited to job submission, job control, reservation management, and retrieval of job and machine monitoring information.
 
The DRMAA root specification describes the abstract API concepts and the behavioral rules of a compliant implementation, while this document standardizes the representation of API concepts in the C programming language.
