/* 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.
