fuse_daemonize(3)

NAME

fuse_daemonize — run in the background

SYNOPSIS

/* -lfuse */
#include <fuse.h>

int
fuse_daemonize(int foreground);

DESCRIPTION

If foreground is 0, fuse_daemonize() detaches from the controlling terminal and runs in the background as a system daemon. Otherwise, the process continues to run in the foreground.

The current working directory is changed to the root directory (/). Standard input, standard output, and standard error are redirected to /dev/null.

RETURN VALUES

Upon success, fuse_daemonize() returns 0; otherwise -1 is returned.

ERRORS

fuse_daemonize() can fail for the same reasons as daemon(3).

SEE ALSO

daemon(3), fuse_parse_cmdline(3)

STANDARDS
