/* This file provides an interface for utilities to run in the background
 * as daemons on POSIX platforms like Linux or as services on Windows platform.
 * Some of the functionalities defined in this file are only applicable to
 * POSIX platforms and some are applicable only on Windows. As such, the
 * function definitions unique to each platform are separated out with
 * ifdef macros. More descriptive comments on individual functions are provided
 * in daemon-unix.c (for POSIX platforms) and daemon-windows.c (for Windows).

 * The DAEMON_OPTION_ENUMS, DAEMON_LONG_OPTIONS and DAEMON_OPTION_HANDLERS
 * macros are useful for parsing command-line options in individual utilities.
 * For e.g., the command-line option "--monitor" is recognized on Linux
 * and results in calling the daemon_set_monitor() function. The same option is
 * not recognized on Windows platform.
