module PhusionPassenger

# An abstract base class for a server that has the following properties:
#
# - The server listens on a password protected Unix socket.
# - The server is multithreaded and handles one client per thread.
# - The server is owned by one or more processes. If all processes close their
#   reference to the server, then the server will quit.
# - The server's main loop may be run in a child process (and so is asynchronous
#   from the parent process).
# - One can communicate with the server through discrete MessageChannel messages,
#   as opposed to byte streams.
# - The server can pass file descriptors (IO objects) back to the client.
#
# The server will also reset all signal handlers. That is, it will respond to
# all signals in the default manner. The only exception is SIGHUP, which is
# ignored. One may define additional signal handlers using define_signal_handler().
#
# Before an AbstractServer can be used, it must first be started by calling start().
# When it is no longer needed, stop() should be called.
#
# Here's an example on using AbstractServer:
#
#  class MyServer < PhusionPassenger::AbstractServer
#     def initialize
#        super()
#        define_message_handler(:hello, :handle_hello)
#     end
#     
#     def hello(first_name, last_name)
#        connect do |channel|
#           channel.write('hello', first_name, last_name)
#           reply, pointless_number = channel.read
#           puts "The server said: #{reply}"
#           puts "In addition, it sent this pointless number: #{pointless_number}"
#        end
#     end
#  
#  private
#     def handle_hello(channel, first_name, last_name)
#        channel.write("Hello #{first_name} #{last_name}, how are you?", 1234)
#     end
#  end
#  
#  server = MyServer.new
#  server.start
#  server.hello("Joe", "Dalton")
#  server.stop
