  53     (description
  54      "Libdaemon is a lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX
  55 daemons.  It consists of the following parts:
  56
  57   • A wrapper around fork() which does the correct daemonization procedure of
  58     a process
  59
  60   • A wrapper around syslog() for simpler and compatible log output to Syslog
  61     or STDERR
  62
  63   • An API for writing PID files
  64
  65   • An API for serializing UNIX signals into a pipe for usage with select() or
  66     poll()
  67
  68   • An API for running subprocesses with STDOUT and STDERR redirected to
  69     syslog.
  70
  71 APIs like these are used in most daemon software available.  It is not that
  72 simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.")
