+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. \ No newline at end of file
