#' A batchtools LSF backend resolves futures in parallel via a Load Sharing Facility (LSF) job scheduler
#'
#' @inheritParams BatchtoolsTemplateFutureBackend
#'
#' @param template (optional) Name of job-script template to be searched
#' for by [batchtools::findTemplateFile()]. If not found, it defaults to
#' the `templates/lsf.tmpl` part of this package (see below).
#'
#' @param \ldots Not used.
#'
#' @return Nothing.
#'
#' @details
#' Batchtools Load Sharing Facility (LSF) futures use \pkg{batchtools}
#' cluster functions created by [batchtools::makeClusterFunctionsLSF()],
#' which are used to interact with the LSF job scheduler. This requires
#' that LSF commands `bsub`, `bjobs`, and `bkill` are available on the
#' current machine.
#'
#' The default template script `templates/lsf.tmpl` can be found in:
#'
#' ```r
#' system.file("templates", "lsf.tmpl", package = "future.batchtools")
#' ```
#'
#' and comprises:
#'
#' `r paste(c("\x60\x60\x60bash", readLines("inst/templates/lsf.tmpl"), "\x60\x60\x60"), collapse = "\n")`
#'
#' @examplesIf interactive()
#' library(future)
#'
#' # Limit runtime to 10 minutes and total memory to 400 MiB per future,
#' # request a parallel environment with four slots on a single host.
#' # Submit to the 'freecycle' queue. Load environment modules 'r' and
#' # 'jags'. Report on job details at startup and at the end of the job.
