/** Implementation of daemon() function.
 *
 * The original daemon() function is not POSIX. Additionally parent doesn't
 * create PID file as UNIX services do. So after parent exiting there is no
 * PID file yet. This function fix that problems.
 *
 * @param [in] nochdir On zero changes working dir to "/". Compatible with daemon().
 * @param [in] noclose On zero redirects standard streams to "/dev/null". Compatible with daemon().
 * @param [in] pidfile Name of PID file to create.
 * @param [in] mode PID file mode.
 * @return BOOL_TRUE on success, BOOL_FALSE else.
 * @sa daemon()
