About daemonize

daemonize is a helper to turn regular commands into background services.

daemonize is distributed under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license. Please
refer to the COPYING file for more information.

Compiling daemonize

daemonize is meant to be portable, and should not depend on any specific
component.

With GCC, this should be enough to compile and install daemonize:

$ make install

To install (or package) daemonize in a different location:

$ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install

daemonize also supports DESTDIR, to be installed in a staging directory; for
instance:

$ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install
