The __daemon__() function is for programs wishing to |
| |
|
26 |
detach themselves from the controlling terminal and run in |
| |
|
27 |
the background as system daemons. |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|

Unless the argument ''nochdir'' is non-zero, |
| |
|
31 |
__daemon__() changes the current working directory to the |
| |
|
32 |
root (``/''). |
| |
|

|
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
Unless the argument ''noclose'' is non-zero, |
| |
|
36 |
__daemon__() will redirect standard input, standard |
| |
|
37 |
output and standard error to ''/dev/null''. |

If an error occurs, __daemon__() returns -1 and sets the |
| |
|
42 |
global variable ''errno'' to any of the errors specified |
| |
|
43 |
for the library functions fork(2) and |
| |
|
44 |
setsid(2). |
