Overview
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.
APIs like these are used in most daemon software available. It is not
that simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.
libdaemon is currently used by [24]ifplugd, [25]Avahi, [26]ivam2,
[27]Nautilus-Share and [28]aeswepd.
Current Status
Version 0.14 is feature complete.
Documentation
An extensive API reference is [29]available
Requirements
libdaemon was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from
July 2003, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and some
Unix versions) since it uses GNU Autoconf and GNU libtool for source
code configuration and shared library management.
libdaemon is known to work on modern Linux systems, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, Darwin, Solaris and Windows/Cygwin.
Installation
As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run
./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the
source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make
install (as root) for installation of libdaemon.
Please use gmake instead of traditional make for compilation on
non-Linux systems.
Acknowledgements
Sebastien Estienne, for a lot of portability work.
