The purpose of the spooler is to control the queues, create new spool files, and invoke the queue processor when a job is ready for printing. The spooler also provides a function, SplMessageBox, that can be called to display a message to the user.

The following functions are available in the spooler:

• SplMessageBox
  
• SplQmAbort
  
• SplQmAbortDoc
  
• SplQmClose
  
• SplQmEndDoc
  
• SplQmOpen
  
• SplQmStartDoc
  
• SplQmWrite

The following functions are new for OS/2 Warp, Version 3:

• SplQmNewPage 
  SplQmGetJobID

  For a complete description of each of the functions listed in this chapter, see Device Support Function Reference. They are listed alphabetically in the index table for that chapter.
