Functions
void	procs_terminate_childs (void)
	This function terminates all processes spawned with create_process. Calls terminate_child for each process active. In case init_procs was not called this function does nothing.
int	terminate_process (pid_t pid)
	Terminates a given process. If termination does not work, the process will get killed. Terminate process can be called with the (-1 * pid) to send the signal to the process group.
pid_t	create_ipc_process (ipc_process_func func, void *args)
	initializes a communication channels and calls a function with a new process
const struct ipc_contexts *	procs_get_ipc_contexts (void)
	returns ipc_contexts.
int	procs_cleanup_children (void)
	iterates through ipcc and verify if a child is stopped or killed to free the file handler.
