+cat << EOF
+libdaemon is a lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX
+daemons. It consists of the following parts:
+
+* A wrapper around fork() which does the correct daemonization procedure
+  of a process
+* A wrapper around syslog() for simpler and compatible log output to
+  Syslog or STDERR * An API for writing PID files
+* An API for serializing UNIX signals into a pipe for usage with
+  select() or poll()
+* An API for running subprocesses with STDOUT and STDERR redirected to
+  syslog.
+
+APIs like these are used in most daemon software available. It is not
+that simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.
