docs for peek_* foo commands

[Rob Sanheim]

Is there documentation anywhere for the peek* commands?

I'm trying to figure out if there is a relatively cheap way to say
things like "show me the contents of the next 5 jobs without blocking
or reserving them".

thanks,
- Rob

You can do that for the next one job, but not the next five jobs.

If you don't mind reserving jobs briefly, you can issue five reserve
commands and then immediately release the jobs.
