== Name
ranch - Socket acceptor pool for TCP protocols
== Description
Ranch is a socket acceptor pool for TCP protocols.
Ranch manages listeners which are a set of processes that
accept and manage connections. The connection's transport
and protocol modules are configured per listener. Listeners
can be inspected and reconfigured without interruptions in
service.
== Modules
Functions:
* link:man:ranch(3)[ranch(3)] - Socket acceptor pool
Transports:
* link:man:ranch_ssl(3)[ranch_ssl(3)] - SSL transport
* link:man:ranch_tcp(3)[ranch_tcp(3)] - TCP transport
Behaviors:
* link:man:ranch_protocol(3)[ranch_protocol(3)] - Protocol modules
* link:man:ranch_transport(3)[ranch_transport(3)] - Transport modules
== Dependencies
* ssl - Secure communication over sockets
All these applications must be started before the `ranch`
application. To start Ranch and all dependencies at once:
[source,erlang]
----
{ok, _} = application:ensure_all_started(ranch).
----
== Environment
The `ranch` application defines one application environment
configuration parameter.
profile (false)::
When enabled, Ranch will start `eprof` profiling automatically.
+
You can use the `ranch_app:profile_output/0` function to stop
profiling and output the results to the files 'procs.profile'
and 'total.profile'. Do not use in production.
