.
\fIorte-checkpoint\fR will attempt to notify a running parallel job (identified
by \fImpirun\fP) that it has been requested that the job checkpoint itself. A
global snapshot handle reference is presented to the user, which is used in
\fIompi_restart\fP to restart the job.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.
.PP
\fIorte-checkpoint\fR can be invoked multiple, non-overlapping times.
It is convenient to note that the user does not need to spectify
the checkpointer to be used here, as that is determined completely by each of
the running process in the job being checkpointed.
