+/**
+ * daemonize - routine to turn a process into a well-behaved daemon.
+ *
+ * Daemons should detach themselves thoroughly from the process which launched
+ * them, and not prevent any filesystems from being unmounted.  daemonize()
+ * helps with the process.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *	#include <ccan/daemonize/daemonize.h>
+ *	#include <ccan/str/str.h>
+ *	#include <err.h>
+ *	#include <unistd.h>
+ *	#include <stdlib.h>
+ *	
+ *	static void usage(const char *name)
+ *	{
+ *		errx(1, "Usage: %s [--daemonize]\n", name);
+ *	}
+ *	
+ *	// Wait for a minute, possibly as a daemon.
+ *	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+ *	{
+ *		if (argc != 1) {
+ *			if (argc == 2 && streq(argv[1], "--daemonize")) {
+ *				if (!daemonize())
+ *					err(1, "Failed to become daemon");
+ *			} else
+ *				usage(argv[1]);
+ *		}
+ *		sleep(60);
+ *		exit(0);
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Licence: BSD (2 clause, ie. MIT)
