""" 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.
