Function Documentation

int Daemonize (   )

Function to turn this process into a daemon. Return values: int  SUCCESS if the daemonizing was successful int  FAILURE otherwise

bool initialize (   )

Performs initialization work for the master and slave Fountain node daemons. This function does two important things, registering for signal events and initializing the Bamboo library. Return values: bool  true if initialization was successfull false  otherwise

void interruptHandler (  int  signalNumber  )

Called when we catch a signal. If the signal is SIGINT or SIGTERM we'll set the global done variable to true Parameters: [in]  signalNumber  The signal number caught

bool parseArgs (  int  argc, char **  argv, bool  amMasterNode )

General argument parsing for both the master and slave Fountain node daemons. Parameters: [in]  argc  The number of arguments in the argv array [in]  argv  Pointer to the argument array [in]  amMasterNode  True if the caller is the master Fountain daemon Return values: bool  true if the parsing was successful false  otherwise

void usage (  char **  argv, bool  amMasterNode )

Describes the various arguments accepted by the master and slave Fountain node daemons. Parameters: [in]  argv  Pointer to the argv array [in]  amMasterNode  True if the caller is the master Fountain daemon

void version (  char **  argv  )

Displays the Fountain version. Parameters: [in]  argv  Pointer to the argv array
