ldesc: "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."
