Note that the lines:
"Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
daemon(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)"
in that man page imply that daemon() was defined in XPG3, XPG4, and
XPG4v2. But, daemon() was never defined by XPG1, XPG2, XPG3, XPG4,
XPG4v2, XPG5, XPG6, nor XPG7.
