The poolbind command allows an authorized user to bind projects, tasks, and processes to pools. It can also allow a user to query a process to determine which pool the process is bound to.

The following options are supported:

-i idtype

This option, together with the idlist arguments, specifies one or more processes to which the poolbind command is to apply. The interpretation of idlist depends on the value of idtype. The valid idtype arguments and corresponding interpretations of idlist are as follows:

pid

idlist is a list of process IDs. Binds the specified processes to the specified pool. This is the default behavior if no idtype is specified.

taskid

idlist is a list of task IDs. Bind all processes within the list of task IDs to the specified pool.

projid

idlist is a list of project IDs. Bind all processes within the list of projects to the specified pool. Each project ID can be specified as either a project name or a numerical project ID. See project(4).

-q pid ...

Queries the pool bindings for a given list of process IDs. If the collection of resources associated with the process does not correspond to any currently existing pool, or if there are multiple pools with the set of resources that the process is bound to, the query fails for that particular process ID.

-Q pid ...

Queries the resource bindings for a given list of process IDs. The resource bindings are each reported on a separate line.

The following operands are supported:

poolname

The name of a pool to which the specified project, tasks or processes are to be bound.

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

1

Requested operation could not be completed.

2

Invalid command line options were specified.
