=head1 NAME

Net::Server::Daemonize - Safe fork and daemonization utilities

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Net::Server::Daemonize qw(daemonize);

    daemonize(
      'nobody',                 # User
      'nobody',                 # Group
      '/var/state/mydaemon.pid' # Path to PID file - optional
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is intended to let you simply and safely daemonize your
server on systems supporting the POSIX module. This means that your
Perl script runs in the background, and it's process ID is stored in a
file so you can easily stop it later.

=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item daemonize

Main routine.  Arguments are user (or userid), group (or group id or
space delimited list of groups), and pid_file (path to file).  This
routine will check on the pid file, safely fork, create the pid file
(storing the pid in the file), become another user and group, close
STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR, separate from the process group (become
session leader), and install $SIG{INT} to remove the pid file.  In
otherwords - daemonize.  All errors result in a die.  As of version
0.89 the pid_file is optional.

=item safe_fork

Block SIGINT during fork.  No arguments.  Returns pid of forked child.
All errors result in a die.

=item set_user

Become another user and group.  Arguments are user (or userid) and
group (or group id or space delimited list of groups).

=item set_uid

Become another user.  Argument is user (or userid).  All errors die.

=item set_gid

Become another group.  Arguments are groups (or group ids or space
delimited list of groups or group ids).  All errors die.

=item get_uid

Find the uid.  Argument is user (userid returns userid).  Returns
userid.  All errors die.

=item get_gid

Find the gids.  Arguments are groups or space delimited list of
groups.  All errors die.

=item is_root_user

Determine if the process is running as root.  Returns 1 or undef.

=item check_pid_file

Arguments are pid_file (full path to pid_file).  Checks for existence
of pid_file.  If file exists, open it and determine if the process
that created it is still running.  This is done first by checking for
a /proc file system and second using a "ps" command (BSD syntax).  (If
neither of these options exist it assumed that the process has ended)
If the process is still running, it aborts.  Otherwise, returns true.
All errors die.

=item create_pid_file.

Arguments are pid_file (full path to pid_file).  Calls check_pid_file.
If it is successful (no pid_file exists), creates a pid file and
stores $$ in the file.

=item unlink_pid_file

Does just that.
