-## cluster.schedulingPolicy
-
-The scheduling policy, either `cluster.SCHED_RR` for round-robin or
-`cluster.SCHED_NONE` to leave it to the operating system. This is a
-global setting and effectively frozen once you spawn the first worker
-or call `cluster.setupMaster()`, whatever comes first.
-
-`SCHED_RR` is the default on all operating systems except Windows.
-Windows will change to `SCHED_RR` once libuv is able to effectively
-distribute IOCP handles without incurring a large performance hit.
-
-`cluster.schedulingPolicy` can also be set through the
-`NODE_CLUSTER_SCHED_POLICY` environment variable. Valid
-values are `"rr"` and `"none"`.
-
-## cluster.settings
-
-* {Object}
-  * `execArgv` {Array} list of string arguments passed to the Node.js
-    executable. (Default=`process.execArgv`)
-  * `exec` {String} file path to worker file.  (Default=`process.argv[1]`)
-  * `args` {Array} string arguments passed to worker.
-    (Default=`process.argv.slice(2)`)
-  * `silent` {Boolean} whether or not to send output to parent's stdio.
-    (Default=`false`)
-  * `uid` {Number} Sets the user identity of the process. (See setuid(2).)
-  * `gid` {Number} Sets the group identity of the process. (See setgid(2).)
-
-After calling `.setupMaster()` (or `.fork()`) this settings object will contain
-the settings, including the default values.

-## cluster.isMaster
-
-* {Boolean}
 
-True if the process is a master. This is determined

+A Worker object contains all public information and method about a worker.
+In the master it can be obtained using `cluster.workers`. In a worker
+it can be obtained using `cluster.worker`.
 
-When a new worker is forked the cluster module will emit a 'fork' event.
-This can be used to log worker activity, and create your own timeout.

+### Event: 'error'
 
-After forking a new worker, the worker should respond with an online message.
-When the master receives an online message it will emit this event.
-The difference between 'fork' and 'online' is that fork is emitted when the
-master forks a worker, and 'online' is emitted when the worker is running.
+This event is the same as the one provided by `child_process.fork()`.
 
-    cluster.on('online', function(worker) {

+* `code` {Number} the exit code, if it exited normally.
+* `signal` {String} the name of the signal (eg. `'SIGHUP'`) that caused
+  the process to be killed.
 
-The event handler is executed with two arguments, the `worker` contains the worker
-object and the `address` object contains the following connection properties:
-`address`, `port` and `addressType`. This is very useful if the worker is listening
-on more than one address.
+Similar to the `cluster.on('exit')` event, but specific to this worker.
 
-    cluster.on('listening', function(worker, address) {
-      console.log("A worker is now connected to " + address.address + ":" + address.port);

-The `addressType` is one of:
-
-* `4` (TCPv4)

+In a worker you can also use `process.on('message')`.
 
-See
-[child_process event: 'message'](child_process.html#child_process_event_message).

+in the master process using the message system:
 
-## Event: 'setup'
+    var cluster = require('cluster');
+    var http = require('http');
 
-* `settings` {Object}

+      setInterval(function() {
+        console.log("numReqs =", numReqs);
+      }, 1000);
 
-The `settings` object is the `cluster.settings` object at the time
-`.setupMaster()` was called and is advisory only, since multiple calls to
-`.setupMaster()` can be made in a single tick.
+      // Count requests
+      function messageHandler(msg) {
+        if (msg.cmd && msg.cmd == 'notifyRequest') {

+In a worker, this function will close all servers, wait for the 'close' event on

-This can only be called from the master process.
+In the master, an internal message is sent to the worker causing it to call
+`.disconnect()` on itself.
 
-## cluster.disconnect([callback])
+Causes `.suicide` to be set.
 
-* `callback` {Function} called when all workers are disconnected and handles are
-  closed
+Note that after a server is closed, it will no longer accept new connections,
+but connections may be accepted by any other listening worker. Existing
+connections will be allowed to close as usual. When no more connections exist,
+see [server.close()](net.html#net_event_close), the IPC channel to the worker
+will close allowing it to die gracefully.
 
-Calls `.disconnect()` on each worker in `cluster.workers`.
+The above applies *only* to server connections, client connections are not
+automatically closed by workers, and disconnect does not wait for them to close
+before exiting.
 
-When they are disconnected all internal handles will be closed, allowing the
-master process to die gracefully if no other event is waiting.
+Note that in a worker, `process.disconnect` exists, but it is not this function,
+it is [disconnect](child_process.html#child_process_child_disconnect).
 
-The method takes an optional callback argument which will be called when finished.
+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.

+Spawn a new worker process.
 
-This function returns `true` if the worker's process has terminated (either
-because of exiting or being signaled). Otherwise, it returns `false`.
+This can only be called from the master process.
 
-### worker.isConnected()
+## cluster.isMaster
 
-This function returns `true` if the worker is connected to its master via its IPC
-channel, `false` otherwise. A worker is connected to its master after it's been
-created. It is disconnected after the `disconnect` event is emitted.
+* {Boolean}
 
-### Event: 'message'
+True if the process is a master. This is determined
+by the `process.env.NODE_UNIQUE_ID`. If `process.env.NODE_UNIQUE_ID` is
+undefined, then `isMaster` is `true`.
 
-* `message` {Object}

+or call `cluster.setupMaster()`, whatever comes first.
 
-    var cluster = require('cluster');
-    var http = require('http');
+`SCHED_RR` is the default on all operating systems except Windows.
+Windows will change to `SCHED_RR` once libuv is able to effectively
+distribute IOCP handles without incurring a large performance hit.
 
-    if (cluster.isMaster) {
+`cluster.schedulingPolicy` can also be set through the
+`NODE_CLUSTER_SCHED_POLICY` environment variable. Valid
+values are `"rr"` and `"none"`.

-### Event: 'online'
+`setupMaster` is used to change the default 'fork' behavior. Once called,
+the settings will be present in `cluster.settings`.
 
-Similar to the `cluster.on('online')` event, but specific to this worker.
+Note that:
 
-    cluster.fork().on('online', function() {
-      // Worker is online
-    });
+* any settings changes only affect future calls to `.fork()` and have no
+  effect on workers that are already running
+* The *only* attribute of a worker that cannot be set via `.setupMaster()` is
+  the `env` passed to `.fork()`
+* the defaults above apply to the first call only, the defaults for later
+  calls is the current value at the time of `cluster.setupMaster()` is called
 
-It is not emitted in the worker.
+Example:
 
-### Event: 'listening'
+    var cluster = require('cluster');
+    cluster.setupMaster({
+      exec: 'worker.js',
+      args: ['--use', 'https'],
+      silent: true
+    });
+    cluster.fork(); // https worker
+    cluster.setupMaster({
+      args: ['--use', 'http']
+    });
+    cluster.fork(); // http worker
 
-* `address` {Object}
+This can only be called from the master process.
 
-Similar to the `cluster.on('listening')` event, but specific to this worker.
+## cluster.worker
 
-    cluster.fork().on('listening', function(address) {
-      // Worker is listening
-    });
+* {Object}
 
-It is not emitted in the worker.
+A reference to the current worker object. Not available in the master process.
 
-### Event: 'disconnect'
+    var cluster = require('cluster');
 
-Similar to the `cluster.on('disconnect')` event, but specific to this worker.
+    if (cluster.isMaster) {
+      console.log('I am master');
+      cluster.fork();
+      cluster.fork();
+    } else if (cluster.isWorker) {
+      console.log('I am worker #' + cluster.worker.id);
+    }
 
-    cluster.fork().on('disconnect', function() {
-      // Worker has disconnected
-    });
+## cluster.workers
 
-### Event: 'exit'
+* {Object}
 
-* `code` {Number} the exit code, if it exited normally.
-* `signal` {String} the name of the signal (eg. `'SIGHUP'`) that caused
-  the process to be killed.
+A hash that stores the active worker objects, keyed by `id` field. Makes it
+easy to loop through all the workers. It is only available in the master
+process.
 
-Similar to the `cluster.on('exit')` event, but specific to this worker.
+A worker is removed from cluster.workers after the worker has disconnected _and_
+exited. The order between these two events cannot be determined in advance.
+However, it is guaranteed that the removal from the cluster.workers list happens
+before last `'disconnect'` or `'exit'` event is emitted.
 
-    var worker = cluster.fork();
-    worker.on('exit', function(code, signal) {
-      if( signal ) {
-        console.log("worker was killed by signal: "+signal);
-      } else if( code !== 0 ) {
-        console.log("worker exited with error code: "+code);
-      } else {
-        console.log("worker success!");
+    // Go through all workers
+    function eachWorker(callback) {
+      for (var id in cluster.workers) {
+        callback(cluster.workers[id]);
       }
+    }
+    eachWorker(function(worker) {
+      worker.send('big announcement to all workers');
     });
 
-### Event: 'error'
-
-This event is the same as the one provided by `child_process.fork()`.
-
-In a worker you can also use `process.on('error')`.
+Should you wish to reference a worker over a communication channel, using
+the worker's unique id is the easiest way to find the worker.
