Contains an API for manipulating PID files. Definition in file dpid.h.

intdaemon_pid_file_create(void) Creates PID pid file for the current process. Returns zero on success, nonzero on failure Examplestestd.c. pid_tdaemon_pid_file_is_running(void) Returns the PID file of a running daemon, if available. Returns The PID or negative on failure Examplestestd.c. intdaemon_pid_file_kill(ints) Kills a running daemon, if available. Parameterss The signal to send Returns zero on success, nonzero on failure intdaemon_pid_file_kill_wait(ints,intm) Similar to daemon_pid_file_kill() but waits until the process died. This functions is new in libdaemon 0.3. The macro DAEMON_PID_FILE_KILL_WAIT_AVAILABLE is defined iff libdaemon supports this function. Parameterss The signal to send m Seconds to wait at maximum Returns zero on success, nonzero on failure (timeout condition is considered a failure) Since 0.3 SeealsoDAEMON_PID_FILE_KILL_WAIT_AVAILABLEExamplestestd.c. constchar*daemon_pid_file_proc_default(void) A function for creating a pid file name from daemon_pid_file_ident. Returns The PID file path intdaemon_pid_file_remove(void) Removes the PID file of the current process. Returns zero on success, nonzero on failure Examplestestd.c.

#defineDAEMON_PID_FILE_KILL_WAIT_AVAILABLE1 This variable is defined to 1 iff daemon_pid_file_kill_wait() is supported. Since 0.3 Seealsodaemon_pid_file_kill_wait() Definition at line 82 of file dpid.h.

Typedefs typedef const char *(* daemon_pid_file_proc_t) (void) Prototype of a function for generating the name of a PID file. Functions const char * daemon_pid_file_proc_default (void) A function for creating a pid file name from daemon_pid_file_ident. int daemon_pid_file_create (void) Creates PID pid file for the current process. int daemon_pid_file_remove (void) Removes the PID file of the current process. pid_t daemon_pid_file_is_running (void) Returns the PID file of a running daemon, if available. int daemon_pid_file_kill (int s) Kills a running daemon, if available. int daemon_pid_file_kill_wait (int s, int m) Similar to daemon_pid_file_kill() but waits until the process died. Variables const char * daemon_pid_file_ident Identification string for the PID file name, only used when daemon_pid_file_proc is set to daemon_pid_file_proc_default(). daemon_pid_file_proc_tdaemon_pid_file_proc A function pointer which is used to generate the name of the PID file to manipulate.

constchar*daemon_pid_file_ident[extern] Identification string for the PID file name, only used when daemon_pid_file_proc is set to daemon_pid_file_proc_default(). Use daemon_ident_from_argv0() to generate an identification string from argv[0] Examplestestd.c. daemon_pid_file_proc_tdaemon_pid_file_proc[extern] A function pointer which is used to generate the name of the PID file to manipulate. Points to daemon_pid_file_proc_default() by default.
