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

Starts a new supervisor.

Examples

A task supervisor is typically started under a supervision tree using the tuple format:

{Task.Supervisor, name: MyApp.TaskSupervisor}

You can also start it by calling start_link/1 directly:

Task.Supervisor.start_link(name: MyApp.TaskSupervisor)

But this is recommended only for scripting and should be avoided in production code. Generally speaking, processes should always be started inside supervision trees.

Options

• :name - used to register a supervisor name, the supported values are described under the Name Registration section in the GenServer module docs;

• :max_restarts, :max_seconds, and :max_children - as specified in DynamicSupervisor;

This function could also receive :restart and :shutdown as options but those two options have been deprecated and it is now preferred to give them directly to start_child and async.
