+ help
+ 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.
