SYNOPSIS
sbcast [options] source destination
DESCRIPTION
sbcast sends files to all nodes allocated to a Slurm job. It efficiently distributes files across compute nodes using the Slurm infrastructure.This command should only be used from within a Slurm batch job, not from the login node directly.
PARAMETERS
--send-libs yes|no
Autodetect and transmit shared library dependencies
INSTALL
sudo apt install slurm-client
