Detailed Description

This handle represent a live connection to globd.

The API and the globd communicate over a TCP/IP connection. The handle member name holds the authentication informations needed by globd to authorise token withdraw from a project by a connected client, LSF mbatchd or taskman. Only the API that requests tokens, glb_gettokens() and the administrative API glb_admin() need to set the name member because they require authentication. Other API do not need to manage the handle explicitly.
