To implement this, we reuse the existing daemonizing functions from the system emulator, which mainly do the following: - Fork off a child process, and set up a pipe between parent and child - The parent process waits until the child sends a status byte over the pipe (0 means that the child was set up successfully; anything else (including errors or EOF) means that the child was not set up successfully), and then exits with an appropriate exit status - The child process enters a new session (forking off again), changes the umask, and will ignore terminal signals from then on - Once set-up is complete, the child will chdir to /, redirect all standard I/O streams to /dev/null, and tell the parent that set-up has been completed successfully In contrast to qemu-nbd's --fork implementation, during the set up phase, error messages are not piped through the parent process. qemu-nbd mainly does this to detect errors, though (while os_daemonize() has the child explicitly signal success after set up); because we do not redirect stderr after forking, error messages continue to appear on whatever the parent's stderr was (until set up is complete).
