+//!
+//! The respository is located at <https://github.com/knsd/daemonize/>.
+//!
+//! Usage example:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! extern crate daemonize;
+//!
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! use daemonize::Daemonize;
+//!
+//! fn main() {
+//!     let stdout = File::create("/tmp/daemon.out").unwrap();
+//!     let stderr = File::create("/tmp/daemon.err").unwrap();
+//!
+//!     let daemonize = Daemonize::new()
+//!         .pid_file("/tmp/test.pid") // Every method except `new` and `start`
+//!         .chown_pid_file(true)      // is optional, see `Daemonize` documentation
+//!         .working_directory("/tmp") // for default behaviour.
+//!         .user("nobody")
+//!         .group("daemon") // Group name
+//!         .group(2)        // or group id.
+//!         .umask(0o777)    // Set umask, `0o027` by default.
+//!         .stdout(stdout)  // Redirect stdout to `/tmp/daemon.out`.
+//!         .stderr(stderr)  // Redirect stderr to `/tmp/daemon.err`.
+//!         .privileged_action(|| "Executed before drop privileges");
+//!
+//!     match daemonize.start() {
