[slurm-users] [External] Re: About sacct --format: how can I get info about the fields

[Prentice Bisbal]

They're also listed on the sacct online man page:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html

Scroll down until you see the text box with the white text on a black 
background - you can't miss it.

Also,  depending how your parsing the output, you might want to skip 
printing out the headers, which can be done with the -n or --noheader 
options. For the link above:

However, I recommend leaving the headers in until you're sure you have 
your format syntax correct, to make sure you're getting all the columns 
you expect.
