+ * Perform an action on a daemon:
+ *
+ * * `DAEMON_CONTROL_START` to start the daemon
+ * * `DAEMON_CONTROL_STOP` to stop the daemon (send `SIGTERM` or `dc->signal` if non-zero)
+ * * `DAEMON_CONTROL_CHECK` to check that the daemon is running
+ * * `DAEMON_CONTROL_SIGNAL` to send a signal to the daemon
+ *
+ * The function returns a status code:

+ * * `DAEMON_STATUS_OK` if the action has been performed successfully
+ * * `DAEMON_STATUS_ALREADY_DONE` if the daemon is already in the requested state
+ * * `DAEMON_STATUS_NOT_RUNNING` if the action failed, because the daemon is not running
+ * * `DAEMON_STATUS_ERROR` if the action failed for some other reason (in this case,
+ *   `dc->error_msg` contains a full error message)
