+	help
+	  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.
+	  
+	  APIs like these are used in most daemon software available. It is not that 
+	  simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.
