will

args
is the argument term (second argument) passed to start_link/3
.
Returning {:ok, state}
will cause start_link/3
to return
{:ok, pid}
and the process to enter its loop.
Returning {:ok, state, timeout}
is similar to {:ok, state}
except handle_info(:timeout, state)
will be called after timeout
milliseconds if no messages are received within the timeout.
Returning {:ok, state, :hibernate}
is similar to
{:ok, state}
except the process is hibernated before entering the loop. See
c:handle_call/3
for more information on hibernation.
Returning :ignore
will cause start_link/3
to return :ignore
and the
process will exit normally without entering the loop or calling c:terminate/2
.
If used when part of a supervision tree the parent supervisor will not fail
to start nor immediately try to restart the GenServer
. The remainder of the
supervision tree will be (re)started and so the GenServer
should not be
required by other processes. It can be started later with
Supervisor.restart_child/2
as the child specification is saved in the parent
supervisor. The main use cases for this are:
- The
GenServer
is disabled by configuration but might be enabled later. - An error occurred and it will be handled by a different mechanism than the
Supervisor
. Likely this approach involves callingSupervisor.restart_child/2
after a delay to attempt a restart.
Returning {:stop, reason}
will cause start_link/3
to return
{:error, reason}
and the process to exit with reason reason
without
entering the loop or calling c:terminate/2
.

start_link(String.t(), non_neg_integer()) :: pid()
start_link(ip_address(), non_neg_integer()) :: {:ok, pid()}
Does the necessary setup for communication.
