Rust Daemon Template

====================

This is a template for writing a daemon using Rust. The template includes

* Command-line argument parsing

* Config loading from hard-coded location using yaml

* A `run()` function called by `main()` to support `?` operator. Errors returned

  from `run()` are simply printed to stderr using the `Display` impl, and the

  process exits with `1`.

* Logging to stderr using the log crate and controlled by the command line -v

  flags.

* Signal handling

To get started, clone this project and `s/rust_daemon_template/foo/`.

The template can run out of the box using

```

cargo run -- --config ./config.yml.example

```

To add application logic, edit the `App` type and its `Application` impl in

_app.rs_, the command-line options in _cli.rs_, and the config file format in

_config.rs_.

## FAQ

* _Where is the daemonization logic?_ There isn't any; your system's process

  manager should be able to handle this for you.
