	  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.
