Querying the current status of a spread network

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear spread users,

I'm looking for a way to programmatically query the current status of
a spread network, to check that all segments and hosts defined in the
spread configuration file are active and connected. I know that this
information is written to the log file, for example like this:

[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] Configuration at test1 is:
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] Num Segments 1
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] 	2    192.168.0.255     4803
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] 	     test1             192.168.0.1
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] 	     test2             192.168.0.2
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:04:17] ====================

but is there a way to get this information using for example the
spread C API? I've looking through the user guide but haven't found an
easy solution for this, so any help would be appreciated.

I don't want to rely on the log file because it is often flooded with
a large number of entries like this:

[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:06:21] Send_join: State is 4
[Tue 18 Mar 2014 15:06:22] Send_join: State is 4

and then truncated by logrotate.

By the way, what does "State is 4" mean? What does the other numerical
values mean? I think it would be very helpful if you logged a message
that describe the state instead of a number code.

Best regards
Robert
