void daemon_serviceloop (  void *    ptr )

Main serving funtion This function is the one which does the job. It is the main() of the child thread, which is created as soon as a new connection is accepted. Parameters: ptr:  a void pointer that keeps the reference of the 'pthread_chain' value corrisponding to this thread. This variable is casted into a 'pthread_chain' value in order to retrieve the socket we're currently using, the therad ID, and some pointers to the previous and next elements into this struct. Returns: None. Definition at line 97 of file daemon.c.

void pthread_suspend (  int    msec )

Suspends a pthread for msec milliseconds. This function is provided since pthreads do not have a suspend() call. Definition at line 1573 of file daemon.c. Referenced by daemon_serviceloop(), main_active(), and main_startup().
