PRIV_DAEMON(3) Subroutines PRIV_DAEMON(3)NAMEpriv_daemon - detach from the controlling terminal
SYNOPSIS
#include <privman.h>
int priv_daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
DESCRIPTIONpriv_daemon causes the process to detach from the controlling terminal,
and run in the background as system daemons. A Privman managed program
should call this in place of calling the daemon subroutine.
The arguments nochdir and noclose have the same meaning here as in the
normal daemon method. See daemon(3) for more details.
As a (hopefully) irrelevant detail, normally daemon forks, and the
child continues running while the original process exits. Since
priv_init(3) already forked, priv_daemon causes the privilege server to
detach from the controlling terminal instead.
FILES
${prefix}/etc/privman.d/ appname
The application's configuration file. See privman_conf(5) for
more details. priv_daemon requires that the configuration allow
the fork permission.
BUGSpriv_fdreopen() has not yet been implemented, and might be needed to
properly manage some of the cases.
