A lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX daemons
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.
libdaemon is currently used by ifplugd, Avahi, ivam2, Nautilus-Share and aeswepd.
