Runtime files

qq uses four types of runtime files, each with one of the following extensions: .qqinfo, .out, .err, and .qqout.

qqinfo files

A .qqinfo file (also called a "qq info file") is created after submission by qq submit. It stores information used to track the job submitted from that directory. Each qq job requires its own info file for management and control.

Do NOT move, modify, or delete qq info files manually.
Always use qq commands such as qq kill or qq clear to manage them safely.
Moving, editing, or removing a qq info file while a job is running will cause the job to crash, and you may lose its data.

out files

A .out file contains the standard output from the script executed as a qq job. This file is created when the job begins running in the working directory and is copied to the input directory once (or if) the job finishes successfully.

err files

A .err file contains the standard error output from the script executed as a qq job. Like the .out file, it is created when the job starts in the working directory and is copied to the input directory once (or if) the job completes successfully.

qqout files

A .qqout file contains the output from the qq run execution environment. It includes technical information about the job's progress and internal qq operations. This file is placed into the input directory by the batch system only after the job has fully completed.
