    Options:
      -d fd: the daemon will write its notification on descriptor fd.
      Default is 1.
-     -f: do not doublefork. Use if the daemon waits for children it does
-     not know it has (for instance, superservers do this). When in doubt,
-     do not use that option, or you may have a zombie hanging around.
      -t timeout: if the daemon has not sent a notification after timeout
      milliseconds, give up and exit; systemd will not be notified.
-     -k: keep the NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable when execing into the

    Notes:
-     sdnotify-wrapper does not change the daemon's pid. It runs as a
-     (grand)child of the daemon.
      If the NOTIFY_SOCKET environment variable is not set, sdnotify-wrapper
      does nothing - it only execs into the daemon.
      sdnotify-wrapper is more liberal than sd_notify(). It will accept
