linux daemon() 用法

名称

      daemon-运行于后台

概要

      #include <unistd.h>

      int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);

描述

      daemon()函数，主要用于某些程序希望自己脱离终端的控制而运行于后台的情况。

      除非nochdir为非零值，如果nochdir为0，那么daemon会从当前目录，更改到根目录（“/”）下运行。

      除非noclose为非零值，如果noclose为0，那么daemon会将标准输入，标准输出，标准错误输出重定向到/dev/null。

返回值

      成功返回0，失败返回-1。

NAME
       daemon - run in the background

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);

DESCRIPTION
       The  daemon()  function  is for programs wishing to detach themselves
       from the controlling terminal and run in  the  background  as  system
       daemons.

       Unless the argument nochdir is non-zero, daemon() changes the current
       working directory to the root ("/").

       Unless the argument noclose is non-zero, daemon() will redirect stan-
       dard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null.

RETURN VALUE
       (This  function  forks,  and  if the fork() succeeds, the parent does
       _exit(0), so that further errors are seen by  the  child  only.)   On
       success  zero will be returned.  If an error occurs, daemon() returns
       -1 and sets the global variable errno to any of the errors  specified
       for the library functions fork(2) and setsid(2).

SEE ALSO
       fork(2), setsid(2)

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.

HISTORY
       The daemon() function first appeared in BSD4.4.
