blivet 0.9.0

A correct, full-featured Unix daemon library and CLI for Rust
Documentation
//! Unsafe code containment zone.
//!
//! Contains safe wrappers around libc/std functions whose invariants this
//! module upholds internally, so other modules call them without
//! `#[allow(unsafe_code)]`.
//!
//! Some `unsafe` operations are *not* encapsulable here because their safety is
//! context-dependent — single-threadedness the caller must establish — so they
//! live at the call site that owns that contract, not behind a fake-safe
//! wrapper:
//! - the `fork` call ([`Forker::fork`](crate::forker::Forker::fork) wrapping
//!   `nix::unistd::fork`) in `forker.rs`, invoked from `daemonize_inner` in
//!   `lib.rs`
//! - `std::env::set_var` (USER/HOME/LOGNAME) in `drop_privileges_unchecked`
//!   (`context.rs`) and the post-fork env step `set_env_vars` (`steps.rs`)
//! - `nix::sys::signal::sigaction` in test code
//!
//! The CLI binary (`main.rs`) is a separate crate root that cannot reach this
//! module, so it carries its own documented `unsafe` blocks: the
//! `daemonize_unchecked` / `drop_privileges_unchecked` calls (single-threaded
//! contract) and the pre-exec `libc::signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_DFL)` reset (R128).

/// Reset signal dispositions from 1 through the signal ceiling to SIG_DFL.
///
/// On Linux, iterates standard signals (1..32) then real-time signals
/// (SIGRTMIN..=SIGRTMAX), skipping the NPTL-reserved range (32..SIGRTMIN).
/// On other platforms, iterates 1..=64 and silently skips EINVAL.
///
/// SIGKILL and SIGSTOP are always skipped (cannot be caught/reset).
///
/// SIGPIPE is also skipped, preserving the caller's disposition (R127): the
/// Rust runtime installs SIG_IGN so writes to a closed pipe/socket return
/// `EPIPE` instead of killing the process, and resetting it would silently
/// revoke that for the entire daemon — including the library's own
/// `notify_parent` write, whose documented `NotifyFailed` error could then
/// never be observed. The CLI restores SIG_DFL just before `exec` (R128), so
/// exec'd programs still start with the conventional disposition.
