the default is to daemonize:
from flow-capture.c
case 'D': /* daemonize */
detach = 0;
pidfile = (char*)0L;
break;
-D disables daemonization. the lack of documentation for this in
flow-capture.1 is a bug. the existence of an argument for -D in the
synopsis of the man page is also a bug. a completely untested patch is
attached (no docbook environment setup on the machine).
