Is there a way to use adb commands in a C program?

I'm currently in the process of writing a bash script which uses quite a few adb commands in it. It is already decently sized as far as the amount of written code goes, and I would like to simplify and compact it by writing it in C. It would also serve as a way for me to practice C, since I haven't been using it for a year or two and I'd like to refresh my knowledge...
Now my main issue are the adb commands, which bash can execute easily. Is there a library (or any other way) that would enable me to use the adb commands in my program?
I've tried googling it, and haven't been able to find the answer.
Am I asking the wrong question?
Thanks!

Do you mean executing arbitrary shell commands from a C program?

@Amy Your question is the answer. I wasn't looking at my problem from the right perspective. Thank you.

It happens. Frequently solutions are hard to find simply because we don't know exactly what to search for.

"I would like to simplify and compact it by writing it in C" - When I want so make things simple and compact, then C is definitely not my first choice.

I asked a very similar question a while back. The adb code is actually written in C and the source is available, so you could probably include it, but it's a pretty huge program with a lot of functionality you don't need. It turns out that it's just easier to shell out to adb and give it whatever commands you want.
