Features -------- [](#features) - Easy management of PHP forks - Return result of children by callback or polling parent for results - Splitting work units into buckets - Preforking callbacks to manage resources before forking - Dynamic setting of number of children / work per child Usage ----- [](#usage) Check out the examples in the examples directory `php example/blocking.php` Caveats ------- [](#caveats) - You need to specify `declare(ticks=1);` before inclusion of the fork-daemon library, otherwise signals wont be handled. This *must* be done in the main PHP file, as `declare(ticks=N);` only works for the file in which it is declared and the files which that file includes.
