23 Allows to limit a set of environment variables, change their values,
|
|
24 or create new environment variables, for the following cases:
|
|
25 <ul><li>
|
|
26 variable inheritance during a

638

27 <a href="control.html#upgrade">live upgrade</a>

33 </li><li>
|
|
34 use of variables by worker processes.
|
|
35 Please bear in mind that controlling system libraries in this way
|
638
|
36 is not always possible as it is not uncommon for libraries to check
|
636
|
37 variables only during initialization, well before they can be set
|
|
38 using this directive.
|
|
39 An exception from this is an above mentioned

636
|
41 of an executable file.
|

43 The TZ variable is always inherited and made available to the

636
|
45 module, unless configured explicitly.

64 include vhosts/*.conf;

67 <code>master_process on</code><br><strong>context</strong>:
|

69 Determines whether worker processes are started.
|

70 This directive is intended for nginx developers.

72 <code>pid <code><i>file</i></code></code><br><strong>default</strong>:
|
|
73 <code>pid nginx.pid</code><br><strong>context</strong>:
|
|
74 <code>main</code><br><p>

75 Defines a <code><i>file</i></code> which will store the process ID of the main process.

77 <code>ssl_engine <code><i>device</i></code></code><br><strong>default</strong>:
|
|
78 <strong>none</strong><br><strong>context</strong>:
|
|
79 <code>main</code><br><p>
|
|
80 Defines the name of the hardware SSL accelerator.

82 <code>user <code><i>user</i></code> [<code><i>group</i></code>]</code><br><strong>default</strong>:
|

83 <code>user nobody nobody</code><br><strong>context</strong>:
|
|
84 <code>main</code><br><p>
|
|
85 Defines <code><i>user</i></code> and <code><i>group</i></code>
|
|
86 credentials used by worker processes.
|
|
87 If <code><i>group</i></code> is omitted, a group whose name equals

88 that of <code><i>user</i></code> is used.

89 </p><hr><a name="timer_resolution"></a><strong>syntax</strong>:

90 <code>timer_resolution <code><i>interval</i></code></code><br><strong>default</strong>:
|
|
91 <strong>none</strong><br><strong>context</strong>:
|
|
92 <code>main</code><br><p>
|
|
93 Reduces timer resolution in worker processes, thus reducing the
|
|
94 number of <code>gettimeofday()</code> system calls made.
|
|
95 By default, <code>gettimeofday()</code> is called each time
|
|
96 on receiving a kernel event.
|
|
97 With reduced resolution, <code>gettimeofday()</code> is only
|
|
98 called once per specified <code><i>interval</i></code>.
|
|
99 </p><p>
|
|
100 Example:
|
|
101 <blockquote><pre>
|
638
|
102 timer_resolution 100ms;
|
636
|
103 </pre></blockquote></p><p>
|
|
104 An internal implementation of interval depends on the method used:
|
|
105 <ul><li>
|
|
106 an <code>EVFILT_TIMER</code> filter if <code>kqueue</code> is used;
|
|
107 </li><li><code>timer_create()</code> if <code>eventport</code> is used;
|
|
108 </li><li><code>setitimer()</code> otherwise.
|
|
109 </li></ul></p><hr><a name="worker_rlimit_core"></a><strong>syntax</strong>:

|
|
113 Changes the limit on the largest size of a core file
|

114 (<code>RLIMIT_CORE</code>) for worker processes.

120 Changes the limit on the maximum number of open files

121 (<code>RLIMIT_NOFILE</code>) for worker processes.

122 Used to increase the limit without restarting the main process.

126 <code>main</code><br><p>
|

127 Defines a scheduling priority for worker processes like is
|
|
128 done by the <code>nice</code>: a negative
|
|
129 <code><i>number</i></code>
|
|
130 means higher priority.
|
|
131 Allowed range normally varies from -20 to 20.
|
|
132 </p><p>

133 Example:

638

146 It is primarily used when writing a core-file, in which case

147 a working process should have write permission for the
