Typedefs
typedef enum rc_state_t	rc_state_t
	process state variable, read and modify by rc_get_state, rc_set_state, and rc_print_state. Starts as UNINITIALIZED. More...

Enumerations
enum	rc_state_t {   UNINITIALIZED,   RUNNING,   PAUSED,   EXITING }
	process state variable, read and modify by rc_get_state, rc_set_state, and rc_print_state. Starts as UNINITIALIZED. More...

Functions
rc_state_t	rc_get_state (void)
	fetches the current process state as set by the user or signal handler More...
void	rc_set_state (rc_state_t new_state)
	sets the current process state. More...
int	rc_print_state (void)
	prints the process state to stdout in human-readble form More...
int	rc_make_pid_file (void)
	Makes a PID file RC_PID_FILE (/run/shm/robotcontrol.pid) containing the current PID of your process. More...
int	rc_kill_existing_process (float timeout_s)
	This function is used to make sure any existing program using the PID file is stopped. More...
int	rc_remove_pid_file (void)
	Removes the PID file created by rc_make_pid_file(). More...
int	rc_enable_signal_handler (void)
	Enables a generic signal handler. Optional but recommended. More...
int	rc_disable_signal_handler (void)
	resets the system signal callbacks to defualt, generally this is never needed unless you are intentionally changing signal handlers in the middle of a program. More...
