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 [22]ifplugd, [23]Avahi, [24]ivam2,   [25]Nautilus-Share and [26]aeswepd.Current Status   Version 0.12 is feature complete.Documentation   An extensive API reference is [27]availableRequirements   libdaemon was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from   July 2003, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and some   Unix versions) since it uses GNU Autoconf and GNU libtool for source   code configuration and shared library management.   libdaemon is known to work on modern Linux systems, FreeBSD, NetBSD,   OpenBSD, Darwin, Solaris and Windows/Cygwin.Installation   As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run   ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the   source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make   install (as root) for installation of libdaemon.   Please use gmake instead of traditional make for compilation on   non-Linux systems.Acknowledgements   Sebastien Estienne, for a lot of portability work.Download   The newest release is always available from   [28]http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libdaemon/   Get libdaemon's development sources from the [29]Subversion   [30]repository ([31]viewcvs):svn checkout svn://svn.0pointer.de/libdaemon/trunk libdaemon   You may find an up to date Debian package of libdaemon on the   [32]Debian package repository.   If you want to be notified whenever I release a new version of this   software use the subscription feature of [33]Freshmeat.     __________________________________________________________________    Lennart Poettering <mzqnrzba (at) 0pointer (dot) de>, July 2007   $Id: README.html.in 129 2007-07-10 17:48:11Z lennart $References   1.
