 the watchdog is pinged within a certain time, this time is called the
 timeout or margin.  The simplest way to ping the watchdog is to write
 some data to the device.  So a very simple watchdog daemon would look
-like this:
-
-#include <stdlib.h>
-#include <fcntl.h>
-
-int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
-       int fd=open("/dev/watchdog",O_WRONLY);
-       if (fd==-1) {
-               perror("watchdog");
-               exit(1);
-       }
-       while(1) {
-               write(fd, "\0", 1);
-               sleep(10);
-       }

 A more advanced driver could for example check that a HTTP server is
 still responding before doing the write call to ping the watchdog.
