As a library

hareply can also be used as a library, see the godoc for the hareply package.

Error handling

• The response "agentstate" file is read on startup, if that fails the program will exit.
• The file is read again on any TCP connection, if that fails the last known file contents are used.
• If the value in the file is not a valid response for agent-check, the last valid response is returned instead.
