If you look at the axis source code, to increment the spindle you call...
c.spindle(linuxcnc.SPINDLE_INCREASE)
where
c = linuxcnc.command()
linuxcnc.command() comes from halui.cc (I think), which sends a message...
static int sendSpindleIncrease(int spindle)
{
EMC_SPINDLE_INCREASE emc_spindle_increase_msg;
emc_spindle_increase_msg.spindle = spindle;
return emcCommandSend(emc_spindle_increase_msg);
}
So, to invoke an action, you are actually sending a message to linuxcnc, not
just settings a pin. Status information, like spindle speed, for example,
come from the status message, which is also exposed via halui for python.
There are examples, like linuxcnc/src/emc/usr_intf/emcrsh.cc, which do this in
C++.

Let's say you wanted to access the hal pins and essentially run the machine
using a different programming language like C instead of python.
How's the linkage done from say the Axis GUI to the rest of the system? Like
Spindle ON button and then Spindle +
