+ * Get the current afs status items from the afs process and send it using RC4.
+ *
+ * \param rc4c The rc4 context for data encryption.
+ * \param parser_friendly Whether parser-friendly output format should be used.
+ *
+ * As the contents of the afs status items change in time and the command
+ * handler only has a COW version created at fork time, it can not send
+ * up-to-date afs status items directly. Therefore the usual callback mechanism
+ * is used to pass the status items from the afs process to the command handler
+ * via a shared memory area and a pipe.
