1. 守护进程是什么
Linux Daemon (守护进程) 是运行在后台的一种特殊进程. 它独立于控制终端并且周期性地执行某种任务或等待处理
某些发生的事件. 不依赖用户输入就能提供某种服务.
Linux 系统中大多数服务都是通过守护进程实现的. 常见的守护进程包括系统日志进程 syslogd, Web 服务器 httpd ,
MySQL 数据库服务器 mysqld 等. 守护进程的命名我们通常约定以 d 结尾.
2. 怎么用守护进程
2.1 有趣小例子
#include #include #include #include //// gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -o demo demo.c//intmain(void) {
// 创建守护进程if(daemon(0,0)) {
perror("daemon error");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
// 守护进程 构建文本任务FILE * txt = fopen("demo.log","w");
if (txt) {
fprintf(txt, "%ld, hello, 世界", time(NULL));
fclose(txt);
}
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
结果出人意料呢? daemon(0, 0) ~ 通过 GNU C 库 提供的 api, 轻巧的创建了守护进程.
有心同行也可以将上面素材当做守护进程面试题, 不需要死记硬背, 简单交流下就可以考察出候选人是否严谨和用心.

DAEMON(3) Linux Programmer's Manual DAEMON(3)
NAME
daemon - run in the background
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
daemon():
Since glibc 2.21:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
In glibc 2.19 and 2.20:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
Up to and including glibc 2.19:
_BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
DESCRIPTION
The daemon() function is for programs wishing to detach themselves from
the controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemons.
If nochdir is zero, daemon() changes the process's current working
directory to the root directory ("/"); otherwise, the current working
directory is left unchanged.
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.
RETURN VALUE
(This function forks, and if the fork(2) succeeds, the parent calls
_exit(2), so that further errors are seen by the child only.) On suc‐
cess daemon() returns zero. If an error occurs, daemon() returns -1
and sets errno to any of the errors specified for the fork(2) and set‐
sid(2).
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
Not in POSIX.1. A similar function appears on the BSDs. The daemon()
function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
NOTES
The glibc implementation can also return -1 when /dev/null exists but
is not a character device with the expected major and minor numbers.
In this case, errno need not be set.
BUGS
The GNU C library implementation of this function was taken from BSD,
and does not employ the double-fork technique (i.e., fork(2), set‐
sid(2), fork(2)) that is necessary to ensure that the resulting daemon
process is not a session leader. Instead, the resulting daemon is a
session leader. On systems that follow System V semantics (e.g.,
Linux), this means that if the daemon opens a terminal that is not
already a controlling terminal for another session, then that terminal
will inadvertently become the controlling terminal for the daemon.

NAME
daemon - 运行在后台
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int daemon(int nochdir, int noclose);
DESCRIPTION
daemon() 函数希望运行程序脱离控制终端, 作为系统守护进程在后台运行.
如果 nochdir 是 0, daemon() 将更改当前进程工作目录到 "/" 根目录. 否则保持
不变.
如果 noclose 是 0, deamon() 将重定向 STDIN_FILENO 标准输入, STDOUT_FILENO
标准输出, STDERR_FILENO 标准错误 到 /dev/null, 否则保持不变.
RETURN VALUE
函数内部会执行 fork, 如果 fork 成功, 父进程会调用 _exit 退出. 执行成功返回 0.
发生错误时候将返回 -1, errno 的设置依赖 fork(), setsid(), daemon() 源码.

3.2 daemon.c 解析

不过 88 行不够严禁, 因为当 fd == -1 时候, 会 __close_nocancel_nostatus (-1) 会引发一个 @errno{EBADF, 9, Bad file descriptor}.
67 - 73 行 (__builtin_expect (EXP, N) 表达意思是告诉编译器预测 EXP 表试式 == 常量 N 概率很大, 返回值是 EXP ) 大致
意思获取文件属性, 并且不是字节设备. makedev 用于构建设备 id.
75-77 三行, 将 STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, STDERR_FILENO 句柄指向 fd 句柄所指向的 dev/null 文件.
78-79 行, 很漂亮很严谨功力很厚.

BUGS
GNUC 库 这个 daemon() 函数的实现取自 BSD 源码. 没有采用两次 double fork
设置 sid 机制, 来确保生成的守护进程不是会话负责人. 相反, 这里生成的守护
进程是会话负责人 (session leader). 在遵循 System V 语义系统上, 创建的守
护进程在重新打开终端时候, 新开终端会自动成为守护进程的控制终端.
