[slurm-users] What is the hide option of scontrol for?

[Uemoto, Tomoki]

Hi, all

"man scontrol" says:
Do not display information about hidden partitions, their jobs and job steps.  
By default, neither partitions that are configured as hidden nor those partitions 
unavailable to user's group will  be displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior).

'hide' option is not necessary because it does not display information about 
hidden partitions by default.

When should I use the hide option?

Best Regards,
Tomo
