From a92bf4af66f8b5a2e6bc28baa6670065ce76daf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew King Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2016 09:35:41 +0300 Subject: bitcoind: Daemonize using daemon(3) Simplified version of #8278. Assumes that every OS that (a) is supported by Bitcoin Core (b) supports daemonization has the `daemon()` function in its C library. - Removes the fallback path for operating systems that support daemonization but not `daemon()`. This prevents never-exercised code from ending up in the repository (see discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8278#issuecomment-242704745). - Removes the windows-specific path. Windows doesn't support `daemon()`, so it don't support daemonization there, automatically. Original code by Matthew King, adapted by Wladimir van der Laan. --- src/init.cpp | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/init.cpp') diff --git a/src/init.cpp b/src/init.cpp index 75182345e..3c4466b85 100644 --- a/src/init.cpp +++ b/src/init.cpp @@ -324,7 +324,7 @@ std::string HelpMessage(HelpMessageMode mode) strUsage += HelpMessageOpt("-conf=", strprintf(_("Specify configuration file (default: %s)"), BITCOIN_CONF_FILENAME)); if (mode == HMM_BITCOIND) { -#ifndef WIN32 +#if HAVE_DECL_DAEMON strUsage += HelpMessageOpt("-daemon", _("Run in the background as a daemon and accept commands")); #endif } -- cgit v1.2.3
