NAME
IPC::Simple::Group - work with several processes as a group
VERSION
version 0.09
DESCRIPTION
The constructor for this class should be considered private, and the semantics for instantiating this class may change.
Instead, use "process_group" in IPC::Simple to create process groups.
Also note that processes being added to a group must fit the following criteria:
Grouping processes that have already been launched may result in messages being queued in the process' own queue rather than the group one.
METHODS
members
Returns the unordered list of IPC::Simple processes within this group.
launch
Launches all of the processes in this group.
terminate
Terminates all of the processes in this group. Arguments are forwarded to "terminate" in IPC::Simple.
signal
Sends a signal to all members of the group. Arguments are forwarded to "signal" in IPC::Simple.
$group->signal('HUP');join
Blocks until all of the processes in this group have terminated.
recv
Returns the next message to be received from one of the processes in this group.
