SYNOPSIS

<?php
use \Parallel\Prefork;

require_once '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

$pp = new Prefork([
    'max_workers'  => 5,
    'trap_signals' => [
        SIGHUP  => SIGTERM,
        SIGTERM => SIGTERM,
    ],
]);

while ($pp->signalReceived() !== SIGTERM) {
    if ($pp->start()) {
        continue;
    }

    // ... do some work within the child process ...

    $pp->finish();
}

$pp->waitAllChildren();

METHODS

__construct

Parallel\Prefork __construct([
    'max_workers'          => int $max_workers,
    'err_respawn_interval' => int $err_respawn_interval,
    'trap_signals'         => [int $signal_trapped_in_parent_process => int $signal_sent_to_child_processes],
])

Instantiation. Takes an array as an argument. Recognized parameters are as follows.

max_workers

Number of worker processes (default: 3)

trap_signals

Array of signals to be trapped. Manager process will trap the signals listed in the keys of the array, and send the signal specified in the associated value (if any) to all worker processes.

err_respawn_interval

Number of seconds to deter spawning of child processes after a worker exits abnormally (default: 1)

start

bool start()

The main routine. Returns undef in child processes. Returns a true within manager process upon receiving a signal specified in the trapSignals array.

finish

void finish(int $exit_code)

Child processes should call this function for termination. Takes exit code as an optional argument. Only usable from child processes.

signalAllChildren

void signalAllChildren(int $signal)

Sends signal to all worker processes. Only usable from manager process.

waitAllChildren

void waitAllChildren()

Blocks until all worker processes exit. Only usable from manager process.

signalReceived

int signalReceived()

Returns a signal manager process trapped.
