| 41 | (description |
| 42 | "libdaemon is a lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX |
| 43 | daemons. It consists of the following parts: |
| 44 | |
| 45 | • A wrapper around fork() which does the correct daemonization procedure of |
| 46 | a process |
| 47 | |
| 48 | • A wrapper around syslog() for simpler and compatible log output to Syslog |
| 49 | or STDERR |
| 50 | |
| 51 | • An API for writing PID files |
| 52 | |
| 53 | • An API for serializing UNIX signals into a pipe for usage with select() or |
| 54 | poll() |
| 55 | |
| 56 | • An API for running subprocesses with STDOUT and STDERR redirected to |
| 57 | syslog. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | APIs like these are used in most daemon software available. It is not that |
| 60 | simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.") |
