 # 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.
