.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Mojo::Server::Prefork is a full featured, \s-1UNIX\s0 optimized, pre-forking
non-blocking I/O \s-1HTTP\s0 and WebSocket server, built around the very well tested
and reliable Mojo::Server::Daemon, with IPv6, \s-1TLS, SNI,\s0 Comet (long polling),
keep-alive and multiple event loop support. Note that the server uses signals
for process management, so you should avoid modifying signal handlers in your
applications.
.PP
For better scalability (epoll, kqueue) and to provide non-blocking name
resolution, \s-1SOCKS5\s0 as well as \s-1TLS\s0 support, the optional modules \s-1EV\s0 (4.0+),
Net::DNS::Native (0.15+), IO::Socket::Socks (0.64+) and
IO::Socket::SSL (1.84+) will be used automatically if possible. Individual
features can also be disabled with the \f(CW\*(C`MOJO_NO_NNR\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`MOJO_NO_SOCKS\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`MOJO_NO_TLS\*(C'\fR environment variables.

.SH "ATTRIBUTES"
.IX Header "ATTRIBUTES"
Mojo::Server::Prefork inherits all attributes from Mojo::Server::Daemon
and implements the following new ones.
.SS "accepts"
.IX Subsection "accepts"
.Vb 2
\&  my $accepts = $prefork\->accepts;
\&  $prefork    = $prefork\->accepts(100);
.Ve
.PP
Maximum number of connections a worker is allowed to accept, before stopping
gracefully and then getting replaced with a newly started worker, passed along
to \*(L"max_accepts\*(R" in Mojo::IOLoop, defaults to \f(CW10000\fR. Setting the value to
\&\f(CW0\fR will allow workers to accept new connections indefinitely. Note that up to
half of this value can be subtracted randomly to improve load balancing, and to
make sure that not all workers restart at the same time.
.SS "cleanup"
.IX Subsection "cleanup"
.Vb 2
\&  my $bool = $prefork\->cleanup;
\&  $prefork = $prefork\->cleanup($bool);
.Ve
.PP
Delete \*(L"pid_file\*(R" automatically once it is not needed anymore, defaults to
a true value.
.SS "graceful_timeout"
.IX Subsection "graceful_timeout"
.Vb 2
\&  my $timeout = $prefork\->graceful_timeout;
\&  $prefork    = $prefork\->graceful_timeout(15);
.Ve
.PP
Maximum amount of time in seconds stopping a worker gracefully may take before
being forced, defaults to \f(CW20\fR. Note that this value should usually be a little
larger than the maximum amount of time you expect any one request to take.
.SS "heartbeat_interval"
.IX Subsection "heartbeat_interval"
.Vb 2
\&  my $interval = $prefork\->heartbeat_interval;
\&  $prefork     = $prefork\->heartbeat_interval(3);
.Ve
.PP
Heartbeat interval in seconds, defaults to \f(CW5\fR.
.SS "heartbeat_timeout"
.IX Subsection "heartbeat_timeout"
.Vb 2
\&  my $timeout = $prefork\->heartbeat_timeout;
\&  $prefork    = $prefork\->heartbeat_timeout(2);
.Ve
.PP
Maximum amount of time in seconds before a worker without a heartbeat will be
stopped gracefully, defaults to \f(CW20\fR. Note that this value should usually be a
little larger than the maximum amount of time you expect any one operation to
block the event loop.
.SS "pid_file"
.IX Subsection "pid_file"
.Vb 2
\&  my $file = $prefork\->pid_file;
\&  $prefork = $prefork\->pid_file(\*(Aq/tmp/prefork.pid\*(Aq);
.Ve
.PP
Full path of process id file, defaults to \f(CW\*(C`prefork.pid\*(C'\fR in a temporary
directory.
.SS "workers"
.IX Subsection "workers"
.Vb 2
\&  my $workers = $prefork\->workers;
\&  $prefork    = $prefork\->workers(10);
.Ve
.PP
Number of worker processes, defaults to \f(CW4\fR. A good rule of thumb is two
worker processes per \s-1CPU\s0 core for applications that perform mostly non-blocking
operations, blocking operations often require more and benefit from decreasing
concurrency with \*(L"clients\*(R" in Mojo::Server::Daemon (often as low as \f(CW1\fR).
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
Mojo::Server::Prefork inherits all methods from Mojo::Server::Daemon and
implements the following new ones.
.SS "check_pid"
.IX Subsection "check_pid"
.Vb 1
\&  my $pid = $prefork\->check_pid;
.Ve
.PP
Get process id for running server from \*(L"pid_file\*(R" or delete it if server is
not running.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  say \*(AqServer is not running\*(Aq unless $prefork\->check_pid;
.Ve
.SS "ensure_pid_file"
.IX Subsection "ensure_pid_file"
.Vb 1
\&  $prefork\->ensure_pid_file($pid);
.Ve
.PP
Ensure \*(L"pid_file\*(R" exists.
.SS "healthy"
.IX Subsection "healthy"
.Vb 1
\&  my $healthy = $prefork\->healthy;
.Ve
.PP
Number of currently active worker processes with a heartbeat.
.SS "run"
.IX Subsection "run"
