To find this directory, call the C++ function 88 {{{ 89 dir_hier_path( 90 const char* filename, 91 const char* root, // root of download directory 92 int fanout, // from config.xml 93 char* result, // path of file in hierarchy 94 bool create_dir=false // create dir if it's not there 95 ); 96 }}} 97 If you're using scripts, you can invoke the program 86 == Submitting a job manually == 87 98 88 {{{ 99 89 dir_hier_path filename … … 104 94 }}} 105 95 copies an input file from the test_workunits directory to the download directory hierarchy. 106 107 == Creating workunit records ==108 109 Workunits can be created using either a script (using the create_work program) or a program (using the create_work() function).

To find this directory, call the C++ function 131 {{{ 132 dir_hier_path( 133 const char* filename, 134 const char* root, // root of download directory 135 int fanout, // from config.xml 136 char* result, // path of file in hierarchy 137 bool create_dir=false // create dir if it's not there 138 ); 139 }}} 140 141 142 143 == Submitting jobs from a C++ program == 143 144 144 145 BOINC's library (backend_lib.C,h) provides the functions: … … 263 264 } 264 265 }}} 265 Again, you only need one workunit template file and one result template file.266 Again, you only need one input template file and one output template file.
