The API RESTful server name will be prestd (formerly pREST).

What does the suffix d mean?
d of daemon

A daemon is a service process that runs in the background and supervises the system or provides functionality to other processes. Traditionally, daemons are implemented following a scheme originating in SysV Unix. Modern daemons should follow a simpler yet more powerful scheme (here called "new-style" daemons), as implemented by systemd(1). This manual page covers both schemes, and in particular includes recommendations for daemons that shall be included in the systemd init system.
