<p>Build child specifications for a new listener.</p>
<p>This function can be used to embed a listener directly in an application&apos;s supervision tree.</p>
<h2 id="_arguments">Arguments</h2>
<dl><dt>Ref</dt>
<dd><p>The listener name is used to refer to this listener in future calls, for example when stopping it or when updating the configuration.</p>
<p>It can be any Erlang term. An atom is generally good enough, for example <code>api</code>, <code>my_app_clear</code> or <code>my_app_tls</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Transport</dt>
<dd><p>The transport module that will be used by Ranch to accept connections and that will be passed to the protocol module along with the socket.</p>
<p>The interface of the transport module is documented in the <a href="../ranch_transport">ranch_transport(3)</a> manual.</p>
</dd>
<dt>TransportOpts</dt>
<dd><p>Transport options include the Ranch-specific options and the socket options. The listener&apos;s port number must be defined in the socket options.</p>
<p>Socket options may be given directly if there are no Ranch-specific options.</p>
<p>The available options for the built-in Ranch transports are documented in the <a href="../ranch_tcp">ranch_tcp(3)</a> and <a href="../ranch_ssl">ranch_ssl(3)</a> manuals.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Protocol</dt>
<dd><p>The protocol module that will be used by Ranch after the connection has been accepted.</p>
<p>The interface of the protocol module is documented in the <a href="../ranch_protocol">ranch_protocol(3)</a> manual.</p>
</dd>
<dt>ProtocolOpts</dt>
<dd><p>The protocol options given when calling the protocol module. Please consult the documentation of the protocol module you are using for more details.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="_return_value">Return value</h2>
<p>Child specifications are returned.</p>
<h2 id="_changelog">Changelog</h2>
<ul><li><strong>1.4</strong>: The <code>NumAcceptors</code> argument was moved to the transport options.
