* Name: daemon
*
* Description:
* The daemon() function is for programs wishing to detach themselves from
* the controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemons.
*
* NOTE: daemon() is a non-standard GNU C library interface (based on a
* BSD interface of the same name which behaves slightly differently).
* The interfaces defined at OpenGroup.org are the interfaces that govern
* NuttX. daemon() is only described in the Linux man pages like:
* http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/daemon.3.html
*
* Limitations:
* NuttX does not implement controlling terminals so the primary purpose
* of this interface cannot be supported. Additional operations controlled
* by input parameters are supported, however.
*
* It is not possible to support a true Linux daemon() helper function
* because it is designed to work only in the Linux environment and cannot
* be translated to NuttX. The above mentioned web page states:
*
* (This function forks, and if the fork(2) succeeds, the parent calls
* _exit(2), so that further errors are seen by the child only.)
*
* So the basic operation of the NuttX daemon() is different. The GNU C
* library daemon() begins will logic like:
*
* switch (fork())
* {
* case -1:
* return -1;
* case 0:
* break;
* default:
* exit(0);
* }
*
* This implementation begins essentially 'pretending' that we forked
* and that the fork was successful and that we are the child of the
* fork.
*
* REVISIT: Ideally we should remove the parent information from the
* the new daemon's group data structure. That would have a similar
* effect to the above fork() operation.
*
* Input Parameters:
* nochdir - If nochdir is zero, daemon() changes the process's current
* working directory to the root directory ("/"); otherwise, the current
* working directory is left unchanged.
* noclose - 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.
*
* Returned Value:
* 0 is returned on success; otherwise, -1 is returned with errno set
* appropriately.
