Description

Legacy PHP 5.6 command-line programs can manage Unix processes, signals, and child workers through the pcntl extension. This helps old daemons, job runners, queues, and maintenance scripts continue to work.

It is a process-control extension for CLI-oriented code. Forking and signal handling can leave orphaned processes or corrupt state if used incorrectly, so scripts need careful shutdown and logging behavior.
