52 (synopsis "Lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX daemons")
54 "Libdaemon is a lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX
55 daemons. It consists of the following parts:
57 • A wrapper around fork() which does the correct daemonization procedure of
60 • A wrapper around syslog() for simpler and compatible log output to Syslog
63 • An API for writing PID files
65 • An API for serializing UNIX signals into a pipe for usage with select() or
68 • An API for running subprocesses with STDOUT and STDERR redirected to
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.")
