DAEMON(3) Linux Programmer's Manual DAEMON(3)
NAME
daemon - run in the background
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
daemon():
Since glibc 2.21:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
In glibc 2.19 and 2.20:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
Up to and including glibc 2.19:
_BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
DESCRIPTION
The daemon() function is for programs wishing to detach themselves from
the controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemons.
If nochdir is zero, daemon() changes the process's current working
directory to the root directory ("/"); otherwise, the current working
directory is left unchanged.
If noclose is zero, daemon() redirects standard input, standard output
and standard error to /dev/null; otherwise, no changes are made to
these file descriptors.
RETURN VALUE
(This function forks, and if the fork(2) succeeds, the parent calls
_exit(2), so that further errors are seen by the child only.) On suc‐
cess daemon() returns zero. If an error occurs, daemon() returns -1
and sets errno to any of the errors specified for the fork(2) and set‐
sid(2).

CONFORMING TO
Not in POSIX.1. A similar function appears on the BSDs. The daemon()
function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
NOTES
The glibc implementation can also return -1 when /dev/null exists but
is not a character device with the expected major and minor numbers.
In this case, errno need not be set.
BUGS
The GNU C library implementation of this function was taken from BSD,
and does not employ the double-fork technique (i.e., fork(2), set‐
sid(2), fork(2)) that is necessary to ensure that the resulting daemon
process is not a session leader. Instead, the resulting daemon is a
session leader. On systems that follow System V semantics (e.g.,
Linux), this means that if the daemon opens a terminal that is not
already a controlling terminal for another session, then that terminal
will inadvertently become the controlling terminal for the daemon.
