There aren't a lot of .c examples in our repository, and those we do
have do not serve as good examples of C formatting. Let's make sure this
one starts off right:

> +int

typically best to start with the type, although not entirely necessary.
For this example though, there is no advantage to splitting the type
from the function name.

> +main () {

Function braces should start on a new line
No need for a gap between function and argument parenthetical
Include the proper signature for main, even if you aren't using it.

> +	daemon (0, 0);
> +	while (1) {

space between condition keyword and parenthetical is appropriate.

> +		sleep (1);
> +	}

main returns an int, be sure to provide a proper return otherwise the
caller just reads garbage from the stack (or it would if it ever
returned ;-)

> +}



In summary:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	daemon(0, 0);
	while (1) {
		sleep(1);
	}
	return 0;
}
