+/* 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.
