[erlang-questions] Need help with simple_one_for_one

[Serge Aleynikov]

What is the arity of erlfs_store_worker_fsm:start_link function?

Not quite sure what you mean by [] ++ 1 below.

The supervisor:start_child/2 takes a list [term()] as the second 
parameter.  Here's its docs:

"If the case of a simple_one_for_one supervisor, the child specification 
defined in Module:init/1 will be used and ChildSpec should instead be an 
arbitrary list of terms List. The child process will then be started by 
appending List to the existing start function arguments, i.e. by calling 
apply(M, F, A++List) where {M,F,A} is the start function defined in the 
child specification."

Note the A++List part.
