/**
* A single instance of Node.js runs in a single thread. To take advantage of
* multi-core systems, the user will sometimes want to launch a cluster of Node.js
* processes to handle the load.
*
* The cluster module allows easy creation of child processes that all share
* server ports.
*
* ```js
* import cluster from 'cluster';
* import http from 'http';
* import { cpus } from 'os';
* import process from 'process';
*
* const numCPUs = cpus().length;
*
* if (cluster.isPrimary) {
* console.log(`Primary ${process.pid} is running`);
*
* // Fork workers.
* for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
* cluster.fork();
* }
*
* cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
* console.log(`worker ${worker.process.pid} died`);
* });
* } else {
* // Workers can share any TCP connection
* // In this case it is an HTTP server
* http.createServer((req, res) => {
* res.writeHead(200);
* res.end('hello world\n');
* }).listen(8000);
*
* console.log(`Worker ${process.pid} started`);
* }
* ```
*
* Running Node.js will now share port 8000 between the workers:
*
* ```console
* $ node server.js
* Primary 3596 is running
* Worker 4324 started
* Worker 4520 started
* Worker 6056 started
* Worker 5644 started
* ```
*
* On Windows, it is not yet possible to set up a named pipe server in a worker.
* @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v17.0.0/lib/cluster.js)

* After a server is closed, it will no longer accept new connections,

* see `server.close()`, the IPC channel to the worker will close allowing it
* to die gracefully.

* automatically closed by workers, and disconnect does not wait for them to close
* before exiting.

* it is `disconnect()`.
*
* Because long living server connections may block workers from disconnecting, it
* may be useful to send a message, so application specific actions may be taken to
* close them. It also may be useful to implement a timeout, killing a worker if
* the `'disconnect'` event has not been emitted after some time.
