# libdaemon
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.
