Porting from OpenBSD/Linux to Solaris : daemon(3)

[Steph L]

Hi,

A given Milter program compiles ok on OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Linux but not on
Solaris : it uses daemon(3)

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=daemon&apropos=0&sektion
=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=daemon&sektion=3&apropos=0
&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-RELEASE

What would be the Solaris alternative or POSIX solution to the BSD daemon(3) ?

SL/

PS : Solaris does not have __progname nor vasprintf ... what a pity !

Why ask in a C newsgroup where this is off-topic when there is
comp.unix.programmer?

Why not just borrow the daemon function from the BSD libc sources?
