What does the status "CG" mean in SLURM?

On a SLURM cluster one can use squeue to get information about jobs on the system.

I know that "R" means running; and "PD" meaning pending, but what is "CG"?

I understand it to be "canceling" or "failing" from experience, but does "CG" apply when a job successfully closes? What is the G?

I found this in the 'squeue' section of the Slurm Troubleshooting Guide:

state

Job state, extended form: PENDING, RUNNING, STOPPED, SUSPENDED, CANCELLED, COMPLETING, COMPLETED, CONFIGURING, FAILED, TIMEOUT, PREEMPTED, NODE_FAIL, REVOKED and SPECIAL_EXIT. See the JOB STATE CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)

statecompact

Job state, compact form: PD (pending), R (running), CA (cancelled), CF(configuring), CG (completing), CD (completed), F (failed), TO (timeout), NF (node failure), RV (revoked) and SE (special exit state). See the JOB STATE CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)

"CG" stands for "completing" and it happens to a job that cannot be terminated, probably because of an I/O operation.
