 9 Arguments:
10 paths
11    are the pathnames of segments to be assembled.
12 -alm_args
13    are control arguments accepted by the alm command.
14 -dp_args
15    are control arguments (except -delete) accepted by the dprint
16    command.
17 
18 
19 Control arguments:
20 -queue N, -q N
21    is the priority queue of the request.  The default queue is defined
22    by the system administrator.  See "Notes" for a description of the
23    interaction with the dprinting of listing files.
24 -hold
25    does not dprint or delete any listing files.
26 -output_file path, -of path
27    puts absentee output in a segment with a pathname of path.
28 -limit N, -li N
29    specifies time limit in seconds for the absentee job.
30 
31 
32 Notes:
33 Control arguments and paths can be mixed freely and can appear anywhere
34 on the command line after the command.
35 
36 Unpredictable results may occur if two absentee requests are submitted
37 that simultaneously attempt to compile the same segment or write into
38 the same absout segment.
39 
40 
41 If -queue is not specified, the request is submitted into the default
42 absentee priority queue defined by the site and, if requested, the
43 listing files is dprinted in the default queue of the request type
44 specified on the command line.  (If no request type is supplied, the
45 "printer" request type is used.)
46 
47 If -queue is specified, the listing files are dprinted in the same
48 queue as is used for the absentee request.  If the request type
49 specified for dprinting does not have that queue, the highest numbered
50 queue available for the request type is used and a warning is issued.
