I am reading through the bluetoothd code for version 5.56, but I
cannot find the call that makes it into a daemon. I don't see a fork
or a daemon call. How is it turned to one?
I am compiling the code on an OpenWRT system.
Thank you for your help
Thank you for your reply.
So you are saying that you are relying on whatever service manager to
daemonize the process? I am compiling for OpenWRT which uses procd,
not systemd.

We don't call fork anymore, since most likely bluetoothd would be run
as a systemd service I don't think it matters though.

Hi,
Can't recall when we made the change to stop forking, but it has been
a while bluetoothd has this behavior, doesn't procd handle processes
that don't fork by themselves? How old is bluetoothd in OpenWRT that
this is only showing up now?

The bluez version that I am using is 5.56.
It's not that I had a problem: I just expected to see a daemon call,
and when I hadn't I was surprised. Then I started suspecting that
procd forks the process by itself, but I wasn't sure.
Your answer clarifies things for me. Thanks!
