26 * Daemonize this process by forking and making the parent wait for the child
27 * to signal it indicating readiness. Once received, the parent successfully
28 * quits.
29 *
30 * The child process undergoes the same action that daemon(3) does meaning
31 * setsid, chdir, and dup /dev/null into 0, 1 and 2.
32 *
33 * Return 0 on success else -1 on error.
