APIs at this level are typically documented in man pages, and there is no <x-man-page://3/launch>. This is being tracked as <rdar://problem/3886256>. There is, however, reasonably good sample code showing how to create a launchd-aware daemon (URL below), and there's more to come soon. The reason I ask is that I wrote a simple network service written in C++ that reads in input from cin, writes the information back out cout, and appends the same information in a file. It makes no assumptions about how it is started (i.e., via command line or as a network service). Everything works fine. It sounds like your service will be running in inetd-compatibility mode (that is, you have the "inetdCompatibility" property in your launchd property list), which means you shouldn't have to use the APIs in "launch.h" at all. BUT when I added a getauid() or setauid() to get/set Audit IDs I get very strange results. I need to figure out if I am doing something wrong by *not* calling the launchd APIs, or is there something wrong with the audit APIs. I don't think the API-level documentation you'd get from a "launch.h" man page will help you with subtle problems like this. You might try posting to the launchd-dev mailing list.
