= ranch:child_spec(3)
== Name
ranch:child_spec - Build child specifications for a new listener
== Description
[source,erlang]
----
child_spec(Ref :: ranch_ref(),
Transport :: module(),
TransOpts :: ranch:opts(),
Protocol :: module(),
ProtoOpts :: any())
-> supervisor:child_spec()
----
Build child specifications for a new listener.
This function can be used to embed a listener directly
in an application's supervision tree.
== Arguments
Ref::
The listener name is used to refer to this listener in
future calls, for example when stopping it or when
updating the configuration.
+
It can be any Erlang term. An atom is generally good enough,
for example `api`, `my_app_clear` or `my_app_tls`.
Transport::
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.
+
The interface of the transport module is documented in the
link:man:ranch_transport(3)[ranch_transport(3)] manual.
TransportOpts::
Transport options include the Ranch-specific options
and the socket options. The listener's port number must
be defined in the socket options.
+
Socket options may be given directly if there are no
Ranch-specific options.
+
The available options for the built-in Ranch transports
are documented in the link:man:ranch_tcp(3)[ranch_tcp(3)]
and link:man:ranch_ssl(3)[ranch_ssl(3)] manuals.
Protocol::
The protocol module that will be used by Ranch after
the connection has been accepted.
+
The interface of the protocol module is documented in the
link:man:ranch_protocol(3)[ranch_protocol(3)] manual.
ProtocolOpts::
The protocol options given when calling the protocol
module. Please consult the documentation of the protocol
module you are using for more details.
== Return value
Child specifications are returned.
== Changelog
* *1.4*: The `NumAcceptors` argument was moved to the transport options.
== Examples
