+<h2 id="CHILD-API">CHILD API</h2>
+
+<p><code>Einhyrningsins</code> creates children by <span class="man-ref">fork<span class="s">(1)</span></span>-ing a new process and
+<span class="man-ref">execve<span class="s">(1)</span></span>-ing to run the proces itself. For every socket specified by a <code>-b</code>
+flag, a socket is bound in the main <code>einhyrningsins</code> process and then
+explicitly flagged to be passed on to the child processes. This means the child
+process will already have a valid file descriptor bound to each of the shared
+sockets. The file descriptor numbers are passed via the following environment
+variables:</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><code>EINHORN_FD_COUNT</code></dt><dd>How many sockets have been passed.</dd>
+<dt><code>EINHORN_FD_&lt;NUM></code></dt><dd>One evironment for each socket with <var>NUM</var> from 0 to <code>EINHORN_FD_COUNT-1</code>.</dd>
+</dl>
+
+
+<p>When <code>einhyrningsins</code> is run in manual mode, each child process should connect
+to the control socket (at the UNIX path given by the <code>EINHORN_SOCK_PATH</code>
+variable) and <span class="man-ref">write<span class="s">(2)</span></span> a newline-terminated string like the following,
+containing the child's PID number:</p>
+
+<p> <code>{"command":"worker:ack", "pid":&lt;PID>}</code></p>
