[Moabusers] Fwd: Query resources programmatically

[Feiyi Wang]

Hi, Chris -

I am aware of XML APIs and it seems to provide the information I want. So it
is possible to read the command output, parse the xml, and build up the data
structure, though I was initially trying to avoid that. The reason being
that anytime the output format changes, I might have to modify the source.
That is why I was looking at mclient.c, which is the source for mdiag for
example,  and see if the API used there make sense. One thing I am hoping to
get clarification is that, is the API used by mclient.c are intended for
internal use only? since they are not really documented anywhere I can find.

Thanks

Feiyi
