+ * stdout, and stderr to '/dev/null'. It shall
+ * then double-fork, and between the fork, become
+ * a session leader, temporarily, so that the
+ * it no longer has a controlling terminal.
+ *
+ * Note well, this function does not implement a
+ * reliable or particularly correct mechanism for
+ * daemonising a process. It shall not be used!
+ * Note, the GNU implementation is slightly
+ * different because of a bug.

+ * @param nochdir The not change working directory to '/'.
