become --daemon [option…] |

The following options are appropriate to this mode:
-h
--help
Display a (fairly verbose) help message describing the various command line options and exits successfully.
-u
--usage
Display a terse summary of the command line options and exits successfully.
-v
Display's Become's version number and exits successfully.
-d
--daemon
Start a Become server, instead of processing a request. Become will read its command line options, read in the configuration file (and verify that it's correct) and then fork into the background to wait for incoming requests. Become relinquishes all setuid privileges (by setting all uids to the real uid) when it enters daemon mode. It is therefore only really useful to run a daemon as the superuser.
-p port
--port=port
Listen for requests on port. This option is overridden by the
port
option in the configuration file.
-f file
--config-file=file
Read configuration from file, instead of the default (set at compile time, usually `/etc/become/become.conf').
The syntax of the configuration file is described in The configuration file.
