 An OCI container runtime monitor.
 
-Conmon is a monitoring program and communication tool between a container
-manager (like podman or CRI-O) and an OCI runtime (like runc or crun) for a
-single container.

-Upon being launched, it double-forks to daemonize and detach from the parent

 While the container runs, conmon does two things:
 
-    Provides a socket for attaching to the container, holding open the
-    container's standard streams and forwarding them over the socket.  Writes
-    the contents of the container's streams to a log file (or to the systemd
-    journal) so they can be read after the container's death.
