µRtWare is a lightweight publish/subscribe middleware for real-time

applications. It was developed as part of the software habitat for the

Autonomous Mini Robot [1] (AMiRo) but can be used for other purposes as well.

/'### PARAMETERS & RETURN ####################################################'/

note

  -- **subscriber** : urt_frtsubscriber_t* --

  The FRT subscriber that shall fetch the latest message.

  Must not be ""NULL"".

  -- **payload** : void* --

  Pointer where to copy the payload to.

  May be ""NULL"" for messages without payload.

  -- **bytes** : size_t --

  Payload size in bytes.

  -- **latency** : urt_delay_t* --

  The latency can be returned by reference.

  May be ""NULL"".

  ====

  -- **return** : urt_status_t --

  Returns ""URT_STATUS_OK"" on success.

  Returns ""URT_STATUS_FETCH_NOTOPIC"" if the subscriber is not associated to a topic.

  Retruns ""URT_STATUS_FETCH_NOMESSAGE"" if there is no new message to fetch.

  Returns ""URT_STATUS_JITTERVIOLATION"" if the message's latency violated the maximum expected jitter.
