Cluster Module

Syntax

• const cluster = require(“cluster”)
• cluster.fork()
• cluster.isMaster
• cluster.isWorker
• cluster.schedulingPolicy
• cluster.setupMaster(settings)
• cluster.settings
• cluster.worker // in worker
• cluster.workers // in master

Remarks

Note that cluster.fork() spawns a child process that begins executing the current script from the beginning, in contrast to the fork() system call in C which clones the current process and continues from the instruction after the system call in both parent and child process.

The Node.js Documentation has a more complete guide to clusters here
