Yet Another Daemonizer is a daemonizing crate to easily, simply, and **correctly** create legacy daemons.

This crate focuses on manually creating a background process which is not managed by a supervisor such as systemd or launchd. It strives to follow all the best practices to correctly daemonize a process.

## Example

```rust

use yad::Stdio;

match yad::with_options()

    .stdin(Stdio::Null)

    .stderr(Stdio::Null)

    .stdout(Stdio::output("/var/log/daemon.log"))

    .daemonize()

{

    Ok(_) => println!("I'm a daemon"),

    Err(err) => eprintln!("Failed to launch daemon: {}", err),

}

```
