4.3. A Prototype Daemon

This book includes a bootable CD that turns a PC into a Linux-based appliance. The programming effort for the book's sample appliance was divided among the authors, with each of us writing some of the programs. To make the appliance code easier for you to read (and easier for us to write), we decided to start by building a common core for each of our programs.

The code for the empty daemon is available as part of the code for our appliance, and you can get it from the CD or from the book's website. We've tried to build the empty daemon to reflect all of the lessons learned in the sections above, and you are welcome to copy our empty daemon code and use it as you see fit.
