+define Package/libdaemon/description
+	libdaemon is a lightweight C library that eases the writing of UNIX daemons.
+	It consists of the following parts:
+	- A wrapper around fork() which does the correct daemonization procedure of a process
+	- A wrapper around syslog() for simpler and compatible log output to Syslog or STDERR
+	- An API for writing PID files
+	- An API for serializing UNIX signals into a pipe for usage with select() or poll()
+	- An API for running subprocesses with STDOUT and STDERR redirected to syslog
+
+	APIs like these are used in most daemon software available. It is not that
+	simple to get it done right and code duplication is not a goal.
