Nginx启动过程流程图：
ngx_cycle_t结构体：
Nginx的启动初始化在src/core/nginx.c的main函数中完成，当然main函数是整个Nginx的入口，除了完成启动初始化任务以外，也必定是所有功能模块的入口之处。Nginx的初始化工作主要围绕一个类型为ngx_cycle_t类型的全局变量（cycle）展开。
ngx_cycle_t结构体类型：
typedef struct ngx_cycle_s ngx_cycle_t; struct ngx_cycle_s { void ****conf_ctx; //配置上下文数组(含所有模块) ngx_pool_t *pool; //内存池 ngx_log_t *log; //日志 ngx_log_t new_log; ngx_connection_t **files; //连接文件 ngx_connection_t *free_connections; //空闲连接 ngx_uint_t free_connection_n; //空闲连接个数 ngx_queue_t reusable_connections_queue; //再利用连接队列 ngx_array_t listening; //监听数组 ngx_array_t pathes; //路径数组 ngx_list_t open_files; //打开文件链表 ngx_list_t shared_memory; //共享内存链表 ngx_uint_t connection_n; //连接个数 ngx_uint_t files_n; //打开文件个数 ngx_connection_t *connections; //连接 ngx_event_t *read_events; //读事件 ngx_event_t *write_events; //写事件 ngx_cycle_t *old_cycle; //old cycle指针 ngx_str_t conf_file; //配置文件 ngx_str_t conf_param; //配置参数 ngx_str_t conf_prefix; //配置前缀 ngx_str_t prefix; //前缀 ngx_str_t lock_file; //锁文件 ngx_str_t hostname; //主机名 };
main函数源代码分析
下面具体看一下main函数为Nginx的启动过程做了哪些初始化。

下面分析初始化过程中比较重要的一个函数ngx_init_cycle()。
cycle就是周期的意思，对应着一次启动过程。也就是说，不论发生了上节介绍的三种启动方式的哪一种，nginx都会创建一个新的cycle与这次启动对应。
ngx_init_cycle提供的是配置解析接口。接口是一个切入点，通过少量代码提供一个完整功能的调用。配置解析接口分为两个阶段，一个是准备阶段，另一个就是真正开始调用配置解析。其核心代码如下：
