| """ Library to implement a well-behaved Unix daemon process. |
| |
| This library implements the well-behaved daemon specification of |
| :pep:`3143`, "Standard daemon process library". |
| |
| A well-behaved Unix daemon process is tricky to get right, but the |
| required steps are much the same for every daemon program. A |
| `DaemonContext` instance holds the behaviour and configured |
| process environment for the program; use the instance as a context |
| manager to enter a daemon state. |
| |
| Simple example of usage:: |
| |
| import daemon |
| |
| from spam import do_main_program |
| |
| with daemon.DaemonContext(): |
| do_main_program() |
| |
| Customisation of the steps to become a daemon is available by |
| setting options on the `DaemonContext` instance; see the |
| documentation for that class for each option. |
