## Description

The TCustomDaemonMapper class is responsible for mapping a daemon definition to an actual TDaemon instance. It maintains a TDaemonDefs collection with daemon definitions, which can be used to map the definition of a daemon to a TDaemon descendent class.

An IDE such as Lazarus can design a TCustomDaemonMapper instance visually, to help establish the relationship between various TDaemonDef definitions and the actual TDaemon instances that will be used to run the daemons.

The TCustomDaemonMapper class has no support for streaming. The TDaemonMapper class has support for streaming (and hence visual designing).
