Hi Ammar,

some source code pointers: Usually the GNUnet service processes are started using
a service macro (instead of a standard main).
It can be found here:
https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet.git/tree/src/include/gnunet_service_lib.h#n366

Notice how it is already preprared that this macro can be changed using
a define when compiling (HAVE_GNUNET_MONOLITH).
If that is set, then the service initialization is different.
Essentially, this is where the single-process hook comes into play.
The corresponding source code is found in
https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet.git/tree/src/include/gnunet_service_lib.h#n366.

That code is unfinished for  GNUNET_SERVICE_register_ and we need to
define a GNUNET_service_main() or GNUNET_main() look for everything to
work together.

Best
Martin
