+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.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
