here is the snip from man pages:

Solaris:
DESCRIPTION
     The nohup utility invokes the named command with  the  argu-
     ments supplied.  When the command is invoked, nohup arranges
     for the SIGHUP signal to be ignored by the process.

FreeBSD:
DESCRIPTION
     The nohup utility invokes command with its arguments and at this time
     sets the signal SIGHUP to be ignored.  If the standard output is a termi-
     nal, the standard output is appended to the file nohup.out in the current
     directory.  If standard error is a terminal, it is directed to the same
     place as the standard output.

Linux:
NAME
       nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
