# go-daemon [](https://travis-ci.org/sevlyar/go-daemon) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/sevlyar/go-daemon)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Library for writing system daemons in Go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now supported only UNIX-based OS (Windows is not supported). But the library was tested only on Linux
|
||
|
|
and OSX, so that if you have an ability to test the library on other platforms, give me feedback, please (#26).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Please, feel free to send me bug reports and fixes. Many thanks to all contributors.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Goroutine-safe daemonization;
|
||
|
|
* Out of box work with pid-files;
|
||
|
|
* Easy handling of system signals;
|
||
|
|
* The control of a daemon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go get github.com/sevlyar/go-daemon
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use [gopkg.in](http://labix.org/gopkg.in):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go get gopkg.in/sevlyar/go-daemon.v0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use the library in production project, please use vendoring,
|
||
|
|
because i can not ensure backward compatibility before release v1.0.
|
||
|
|
|

## How it works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We can not use `fork` syscall in Golang's runtime, because child process doesn't inherit
|
||
|
|
threads and goroutines in that case. The library uses a simple trick: it runs its own copy with
|
||
|
|
a mark - a predefined environment variable. Availability of the variable for the process means
|
||
|
|
an execution in the child's copy. So that if the mark is not setted - the library executes
|
||
|
|
parent's operations and runs its own copy with mark, and if the mark is setted - the library
|
||
|
|
executes child's operations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go
|
||
|
|
func main() {
|
||
|
|
Pre()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
context := new(Context)
|
||
|
|
child, _ := context.Reborn()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if child != nil {
|
||
|
|
PostParent()
|
||
|
|
} else {
|
||
|
|
defer context.Release()
|
||
|
|
PostChild()
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
