/* NAME
/*	master_monitor 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	Postfix master - start-up monitoring
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include "master.h"
/*
/*	int     master_monitor(time_limit)
/*	int	time_limit;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	master_monitor() forks off a background child process, and
/*	returns in the child. The result value is the file descriptor
/*	on which the child process must write one byte after it
/*	completes successful initialization as a daemon process.
/*
/*	The foreground process waits for the child's completion for
/*	a limited amount of time. It terminates with exit status 0
/*	in case of success, non-zero otherwise.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Fatal errors: system call failure.
/* BUGS
/* SEE ALSO
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
