=========

daemonize is a library for writing system daemons. Inspired by the Python library [thesharp/daemonize](https://github.com/thesharp/daemonize).

Usage example:

```rust

extern crate daemonize;

use std::fs::File;

use daemonize::Daemonize;

fn main() {

    let stdout = File::create("/tmp/daemon.out").unwrap();

    let stderr = File::create("/tmp/daemon.err").unwrap();

    let daemonize = Daemonize::new()

        .pid_file("/tmp/test.pid") // Every method except `new` and `start`

        .chown_pid_file(true)      // is optional, see `Daemonize` documentation

        .working_directory("/tmp") // for default behaviour.

        .user("nobody")

        .group("daemon") // Group name

        .group(2)        // or group id.

        .umask(0o777)    // Set umask, `0o027` by default.

        .stdout(stdout)  // Redirect stdout to `/tmp/daemon.out`.

        .stderr(stderr)  // Redirect stderr to `/tmp/daemon.err`.

        .privileged_action(|| "Executed before drop privileges");

    match daemonize.start() {

        Ok(_) => println!("Success, daemonized"),

        Err(e) => eprintln!("Error, {}", e),

    }

}

```
