## Nginx 启动过程 ##

Nginx 的启动初始化由 main 函数完成，该函数是整个 Nginx 的入口，该函数完成 Nginx 启动初始化任务，也是所有功能模块的入口。Nginx 的初始化工作主要是一个类型为 ngx\_cycle\_t 类型的全局变量。main 函数定义在文件：[src/core/nginx.c][src_core_nginx.c]

Nginx 启动过程如下。

*  调用 ngx\_get\_options() 解析命令参数；
 *  显示版本号与帮助信息；
 *  调用 ngx\_time\_init() 初始化并更新时间；
 *  调用 ngx\_log\_init() 初始化日志；
 *  创建全局变量 init\_cycle 的内存池 pool；
 *  调用 ngx\_save\_argv() 保存命令行参数至全局变量ngx\_os\_argv、ngx\_argc、ngx\_argv 中；
 *  调用 ngx\_process\_options() 初始化 init\_cycle 的 prefix, conf\_prefix, conf\_file, conf\_param 等字段；
 *  调用 ngx\_os\_init() 初始化系统相关变量；
 *  调用 ngx\_crc32\_table\_init() 初始化CRC表；
 *  调用 ngx\_add\_inherited\_sockets() 继承 sockets；
 *  通过环境变量 NGINX 完成 socket 的继承，将其保存在全局变量 init\_cycle 的 listening 数组中；
 *  初始化每个模块 module 的index，并计算 ngx\_max\_module；
 *  调用 ngx\_init\_cycle() 进行初始化全局变量 init\_cycle，这个步骤非常重要；
 *  调用 ngx\_signal\_process() 处理进程信号；
 *  调用 ngx\_init\_signals() 注册相关信号；
 *  若无继承 sockets，则调用 ngx\_daemon() 创建守护进程，并设置其标志；
 *  调用 ngx\_create\_pidfile() 创建进程 ID 记录文件；
 *  进入进程处理：
    
     *  单进程工作模式；
     *  多进程工作模式，即 master-worker 多进程工作模式；

## ngx\_cycle\_t 变量初始化 ##

### ngx\_cycle\_t 结构体初始化 ###

在初始化过程中，ngx\_cycle\_t 类型的全局变量最为重要，该类型结构定义如下：[src/core/ngx\_cycle.h][src_core_ngx_cycle.h]

/* ngx_cycle_t 全局变量数据结构 */
    struct ngx_cycle_s {
        /*
         * 保存所有模块配置项的结构体指针，该数组每个成员又是一个指针，
         * 这个指针又指向存储指针的数组
         */

        ngx_pool_t               *pool;     /* 内存池 */
    
        ngx_log_t                *log;      /* 日志 */
        ngx_log_t                 new_log;
    
        ngx_uint_t                log_use_stderr;  /* unsigned  log_use_stderr:1; */
    
        ngx_connection_t        **files;    /* 连接文件 */
        ngx_connection_t         *free_connections; /* 空闲连接 */
        ngx_uint_t                free_connection_n;/* 空闲连接的个数 */
    
        /* 可再利用的连接队列 */
        ngx_queue_t               reusable_connections_queue;
    
        ngx_array_t               listening;    /* 监听数组 */
        ngx_array_t               paths;        /* 路径数组 */
        ngx_list_t                open_files;   /* 已打开文件的链表 */
        ngx_list_t                shared_memory;/* 共享内存链表 */
    
        ngx_uint_t                connection_n; /* 已连接个数 */
        ngx_uint_t                files_n;      /* 已打开文件的个数 */

        ngx_event_t              *read_events;  /* 读事件 */
        ngx_event_t              *write_events; /* 写事件 */
    
        /* old 的 ngx_cycle_t 对象，用于引用前一个 ngx_cycle_t 对象的成员 */
        ngx_cycle_t              *old_cycle;
    
        ngx_str_t                 conf_file;    /* nginx 配置文件 */
        ngx_str_t                 conf_param;   /* nginx 处理配置文件时需要特殊处理的，在命令行携带的参数 */
        ngx_str_t                 conf_prefix;  /* nginx 配置文件的路径 */
        ngx_str_t                 prefix;       /* nginx 安装路径 */
        ngx_str_t                 lock_file;    /* 加锁文件 */
        ngx_str_t                 hostname;     /* 主机名 */
    };

### ngx\_init\_cycle() 初始化函数 ###

该结构的初始化是通过函数 ngx\_init\_cycle() 完成的，该函数定义如下：[src/core/ngx\_cycle.c][src_core_ngx_cycle.c]

ngx\_cycle\_t 结构全局变量初始化过程如下：

*  更新时区与时间；
 *  创建内存池；
 *  分配 ngx\_cycle\_t 结构体内存，创建该结构的变量 cycle 并初始化；
 *  遍历所有 core模块，并调用该模块的 create\_conf() 函数；
 *  配置文件解析；
 *  遍历所有core模块，并调用core模块的init\_conf()函数；
 *  遍历 open\_files 链表中的每一个文件并打开；
 *  创建新的共享内存并初始化；
 *  遍历 listening 数组并打开所有侦听；
 *  提交新的 cycle 配置，并调用所有模块的init\_module；
 *  关闭或删除不被使用的在 old\_cycle 中的资源：
    
     *  释放多余的共享内存；
     *  关闭多余的侦听 sockets；
     *  关闭多余的打开文件；
