Worker.prototype.send(message: child.Serializable,
callback?: (error: Error | null) => void,
): boolean

Send a message to a worker or primary, optionally with a handle.

This example will echo back all messages from the primary:

if (cluster.isPrimary) {
  const worker = cluster.fork();
  worker.send('hi there');

} else if (cluster.isWorker) {
  process.on('message', (msg) => {
    process.send(msg);
  });
}
