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