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.
