Today at 3:50pm, Sidd Jashnani expounded:

It really depends what you want to do:
W. Richard Stevens, "Advanced Unix Programming", p. 418, suggests having a
function called daemon_init():
In psuedocode, it is:
fork().
Parent exit()s.
Child calls setsid(), chdir("/"), umask(0). (You should also close file
descriptors that you don't need, e.g. stdin, stdout, stderr.)
(I imagine you had a more specific purpose in mind.)
