Please bear in mind that controlling system libraries in this way is not always possible as it is not uncommon for libraries to check variables only during initialization, well before they can be set using this directive. An exception from this is an above mentioned <a href="control.html#upgrade">live upgrade</a> of an executable file. </li></ul></p><p> The TZ variable is always inherited and made available to the module <a href="http/ngx_http_perl_module.html">ngx_http_perl_module</a>, unless configured explicitly. </p><p> Usage example: <blockquote><pre> env MALLOC_OPTIONS; env PERL5LIB=/data/site/modules; env OPENSSL_ALLOW_PROXY_CERTS=1; </pre></blockquote></p><hr><a name="include"></a><strong>syntax</strong>: <code>include <code><i>file</i></code> | <code><i>mask</i></code></code><br><strong>default</strong>: <strong>none</strong><br><strong>context</strong>: <strong>any</strong><br><p> Includes another <code><i>file</i></code>, or files matching the specified <code><i>mask</i></code>, into configuration.

By default, <code>gettimeofday()</code> is called each time on receiving a kernel event. With reduced resolution, <code>gettimeofday()</code> is only called once per specified <code><i>interval</i></code>. </p><p> Example: <blockquote><pre> timer_resolution 100ms; </pre></blockquote></p><p> An internal implementation of interval depends on the method used: <ul><li> an <code>EVFILT_TIMER</code> filter if <code>kqueue</code> is used; </li><li><code>timer_create()</code> if <code>eventport</code> is used; </li><li><code>setitimer()</code> otherwise. </li></ul></p><hr><a name="worker_rlimit_core"></a><strong>syntax</strong>: <code>worker_rlimit_core <code><i>size</i></code></code><br><strong>default</strong>: <strong>none</strong><br><strong>context</strong>: <code>main</code><br><p> Changes the limit on the largest size of a core file (<code>RLIMIT_CORE</code>) for worker processes.
