+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.
