<dl><dt>alarms (#{})</dt>
<dd><p>Alarms to call a function when the number of connections tracked by one connection supervisor reaches or exceeds a defined treshold.</p>
<p>The map keys are the alarm names, which can be any <code>term</code>. The associated values are the respective alarm options, again in a map with the following keys:</p>
<dl><dt>type</dt>
<dd><p>Must be set to <code>num_connections</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>treshold</dt>
<dd><p>Treshold value, which must be a <code>non_neg_integer</code>. When the number of connections tracked by a single connection supervisor reaches or exceeds this value, The alarm will trigger and call the function defined in the <code>callback</code> key (see below).</p>
</dd>
<dt>callback</dt>
<dd><p>The alarm function, which takes the listener name, the alarm name, the pid of the connection supervisor and a list of the pids of all connection processes under that supervisor as arguments. The return value is ignored.</p>
</dd>
<dt>cooldown (5000)</dt>
<dd><p>The minimum time after which the alarm can be triggered again, in milliseconds.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt>connection_type (worker)</dt>
<dd><p>Type of process that will handle the connection.</p>
</dd>

<dt>logger (logger)</dt>
<dd><p>The module that will be used to write log messages.</p>

<dd><p>Number of processes that accept connections.</p>
</dd>
<dt>num_conns_sups - see below</dt>
<dd><p>Number of processes that supervise connection processes. If not specified, defaults to be equal to <code>num_acceptors</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>post_listen_callback (fun(_ListenSock) -&gt; ok end)</dt>
<dd><p>A function which will be called after a listen socket has been successfully created, with the socket as argument. It can be used to perform any necessary setup steps on the socket.</p>
<p>If the callback function returns <code>ok</code>, the listener will start accepting connections on the socket. If it returns <code>{error, Reason}</code>, the listener will fail to start.</p>
</dd>
<dt>shutdown (5000)</dt>
