Hello,

I am looking at a code which goes as follos:

if (daemon(0,0) != 0)
foo();
else
bar();

When I run the code, neither foo() nor bar() gets executed. Could someone please shed some light?

I am using CentOS 5.

Thanks in advance.

What code are you trying to run? Looks like an example to me and not real source code.

Typically foo, bar or foobar are used in generic terms and hopefully not real function names.
foobar -> FUBAR
