+turn itself into a well-behaved Unix daemon process, as specified in PEP 3143.
+
+This library provides a @code{DaemonContext} class that manages the following
+important tasks for becoming a daemon process:
+@enumerate
+@item Detach the process into its own process group.
+@item Set process environment appropriate for running inside a chroot.
+@item Renounce suid and sgid privileges.
+@item Close all open file descriptors.
+@item Change the working directory, uid, gid, and umask.
+@item Set appropriate signal handlers.
+@item Open new file descriptors for stdin, stdout, and stderr.
+@item Manage a specified PID lock file.
+@item Register cleanup functions for at-exit processing.
+@end enumerate")
