daemon
DAEMON(3) Linux Programmer's Manual DAEMON(3)
NAME
daemon - run in the background
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
daemon(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
DESCRIPTION
The daemon() function is for programs wishing to detach themselves from the controlling terminal and run in the background as system dae-
mons.
If nochdir is zero, daemon() changes the calling process's current working directory to the root directory ("/"); otherwise, the current
working directory is left unchanged.
If noclose is zero, daemon() redirects standard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null; otherwise, no changes are made to
these file descriptors.
RETURN VALUE
(This function forks, and if the fork(2) succeeds, the parent calls _exit(2), so that further errors are seen by the child only.) On suc-
cess daemon() returns zero. If an error occurs, daemon() returns -1 and sets errno to any of the errors specified for the fork(2) and set-
sid(2).
CONFORMING TO
Not in POSIX.1-2001. A similar function appears on the BSDs. The daemon() function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
NOTES
The glibc implementation can also return -1 when /dev/null exists but is not a character device with the expected major and minor numbers.
In this case errno need not be set.
