start_link([option() | init_option()]) :: Supervisor.on_start()

Starts a supervisor with the given options.

The :strategy is a required option and the currently supported value is :one_for_one. The remaining options can be found in the init/1 docs.

The :name option can also be used to register a supervisor name. The supported values are described under the "Name registration" section in the GenServer module docs.

If the supervisor is successfully spawned, this function returns {:ok, pid}, where pid is the PID of the supervisor. If the supervisor is given a name and a process with the specified name already exists, the function returns {:error, {:already_started, pid}}, where pid is the PID of that process.

Note that a supervisor started with this function is linked to the parent process and exits not only on crashes but also if the parent process exits with :normal reason.

start_link(module(), term(), [option()]) :: Supervisor.on_start()

Starts a module-based supervisor process with the given module and arg.

To start the supervisor, the init/1 callback will be invoked in the given module, with arg as its argument. The init/1 callback must return a supervisor specification which can be created with the help of the init/1 function.

If the init/1 callback returns :ignore, this function returns :ignore as well and the supervisor terminates with reason :normal. If it fails or returns an incorrect value, this function returns {:error, term} where term is a term with information about the error, and the supervisor terminates with reason term.

The :name option can also be given in order to register a supervisor name, the supported values are described in the "Name registration" section in the GenServer module docs.
