   * `uid` {number} Sets the user identity of the process. (See setuid(2).)
   * `gid` {number} Sets the group identity of the process. (See setgid(2).)
+  * `inspectPort` {number|function} Sets inspector port of worker.
+  Accepts number, or function that evaluates to number. By default

 After calling `.setupMaster()` (or `.fork()`) this settings object will contain
 the settings, including the default values.
