    65 The following functions return miscellaneous data:

    131 
    132 == Getting the status of the runtime system ==
    133 
    134 The status of the runtime system is represented by the following structure:
    135 {{{
    136 typedef struct BOINC_STATUS {
    137     int no_heartbeat;
    138     int suspended;
    139     int quit_request;
    140     int reread_init_data_file;
    141     int abort_request;
    142     double working_set_size;
    143     double max_working_set_size;
    144     int network_suspended;
    145 } BOINC_STATUS;
    146 }}}
    147 
    148 You can get the current status using
    149 
    150 {{{
    151 void boinc_get_status(BOINC_STATUS*);
    152 }}}
