## Description

TDaemonDef contains the definition of a daemon in the application: The name of the daemon, which TCustomDaemon descendent should be started to run the daemon, a description, and various other options should be set in this class. The global TDaemonApplication instance maintains a collection of TDaemonDef instances and will use these definitions to install or start the various daemons.
