  NAME
	daemon.c - replacement daemon(3) function

  DESCRIPTION

        This source file contains a version of a BSD-style daemon(3)
        function, a function to "daemonize" the calling process.  This
        implementation is based both on the generic daemon logic defined in
        the Unix Programmer's FAQ and on the daemon_start() function in
        W. Richard Stevens' _Unix_Network_Programming_ book (Prentice-Hall,
        1990).  At the time of this writing, the Unix Programmer's FAQ is
        located at `http://www.whitefang.com/unix/faq_toc.html' (among
        other places).
