If one is spending any time hand-crafting the program to daemonize itself on a Unix or a Unix-alike, one is doing things wrongly. On those operating systems, since the advent of the System Resource Controller in 1992 the right way to write a program that runs under a service manager is to write a program that runs in the normal way. No "daemonization" needed.
