## libdaemon-0.14 – lightweight C library that eases the writing of 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.
