+""" Library to implement a well-behaved Unix daemon process.
+
+    This library implements the well-behaved daemon specification of
+    :pep:`3143`, "Standard daemon process library".
+
+    A well-behaved Unix daemon process is tricky to get right, but the
+    required steps are much the same for every daemon program. A
+    `DaemonContext` instance holds the behaviour and configured
+    process environment for the program; use the instance as a context
+    manager to enter a daemon state.
+
+    Simple example of usage::
+
+        import daemon
+
+        from spam import do_main_program
+
+        with daemon.DaemonContext():
+            do_main_program()
+
+    Customisation of the steps to become a daemon is available by
+    setting options on the `DaemonContext` instance; see the
+    documentation for that class for each option.

+
+        A `DaemonContext` instance represents the behaviour settings and
+        process context for the program when it becomes a daemon. The
+        behaviour and environment is customised by setting options on the
+        instance, before calling the `open` method.
+
+        Each option can be passed as a keyword argument to the `DaemonContext`
+        constructor, or subsequently altered by assigning to an attribute on
+        the instance at any time prior to calling `open`. That is, for
+        options named `wibble` and `wubble`, the following invocation::
+
+            foo = daemon.DaemonContext(wibble=bar, wubble=baz)
+            foo.open()
+
+        is equivalent to::
+
+            foo = daemon.DaemonContext()
+            foo.wibble = bar
+            foo.wubble = baz
+            foo.open()
+
+        The following options are defined.
+
+        `files_preserve`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+            List of files that should *not* be closed when starting the
+            daemon. If ``None``, all open file descriptors will be closed.
+
+            Elements of the list are file descriptors (as returned by a file
+            object's `fileno()` method) or Python `file` objects. Each
+            specifies a file that is not to be closed during daemon start.
+
+        `chroot_directory`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+            Full path to a directory to set as the effective root directory of
+            the process. If ``None``, specifies that the root directory is not
+            to be changed.
+
+        `working_directory`
+            :Default: ``'/'``
+
+            Full path of the working directory to which the process should
+            change on daemon start.
+
+            Since a filesystem cannot be unmounted if a process has its
+            current working directory on that filesystem, this should either
+            be left at default or set to a directory that is a sensible “home
+            directory” for the daemon while it is running.
+
+        `umask`
+            :Default: ``0``
+
+            File access creation mask (“umask”) to set for the process on
+            daemon start.
+
+            Since a process inherits its umask from its parent process,
+            starting the daemon will reset the umask to this value so that
+            files are created by the daemon with access modes as it expects.
+
+        `pidfile`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+            Context manager for a PID lock file. When the daemon context opens
+            and closes, it enters and exits the `pidfile` context manager.
+
+        `detach_process`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+            If ``True``, detach the process context when opening the daemon
+            context; if ``False``, do not detach.
+
+            If unspecified (``None``) during initialisation of the instance,
+            this will be set to ``True`` by default, and ``False`` only if
+            detaching the process is determined to be redundant; for example,
+            in the case when the process was started by `init`, by `initd`, or
+            by `inetd`.
+
+        `signal_map`
+            :Default: system-dependent
+
+            Mapping from operating system signals to callback actions.
+
+            The mapping is used when the daemon context opens, and determines
+            the action for each signal's signal handler:
+
+            * A value of ``None`` will ignore the signal (by setting the
+              signal action to ``signal.SIG_IGN``).
+
+            * A string value will be used as the name of an attribute on the
+              ``DaemonContext`` instance. The attribute's value will be used
+              as the action for the signal handler.
+
+            * Any other value will be used as the action for the
+              signal handler. See the ``signal.signal`` documentation
+              for details of the signal handler interface.
+
+            The default value depends on which signals are defined on the
+            running system. Each item from the list below whose signal is
+            actually defined in the ``signal`` module will appear in the
+            default map:
+
+            * ``signal.SIGTTIN``: ``None``
+
+            * ``signal.SIGTTOU``: ``None``
+
+            * ``signal.SIGTSTP``: ``None``
+
+            * ``signal.SIGTERM``: ``'terminate'``
+
+            Depending on how the program will interact with its child
+            processes, it may need to specify a signal map that
+            includes the ``signal.SIGCHLD`` signal (received when a
+            child process exits). See the specific operating system's
+            documentation for more detail on how to determine what
+            circumstances dictate the need for signal handlers.
+
+        `uid`
+            :Default: ``os.getuid()``
+
+        `gid`
+            :Default: ``os.getgid()``
+
+            The user ID (“UID”) value and group ID (“GID”) value to switch
+            the process to on daemon start.
+
+            The default values, the real UID and GID of the process, will
+            relinquish any effective privilege elevation inherited by the
+            process.
+
+        `prevent_core`
+            :Default: ``True``
+
+            If true, prevents the generation of core files, in order to avoid
+            leaking sensitive information from daemons run as `root`.
+
+        `stdin`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+        `stdout`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+        `stderr`
+            :Default: ``None``
+
+            Each of `stdin`, `stdout`, and `stderr` is a file-like object
+            which will be used as the new file for the standard I/O stream
+            `sys.stdin`, `sys.stdout`, and `sys.stderr` respectively. The file
+            should therefore be open, with a minimum of mode 'r' in the case
+            of `stdin`, and mode 'w+' in the case of `stdout` and `stderr`.
+
+            If the object has a `fileno()` method that returns a file
+            descriptor, the corresponding file will be excluded from being
+            closed during daemon start (that is, it will be treated as though
+            it were listed in `files_preserve`).
+
+            If ``None``, the corresponding system stream is re-bound to the
+            file named by `os.devnull`.
