Overview

Package provides API/SPI for daemon definition, which are used by App.

Many people equate the word "daemon" with the word "demon", ... This is an egregious misunderstanding. "Daemon" is actually a much older form of "demon"; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computing%29#Etymology
