final case class Spawn[T](behavior: Behavior[T], name: String, props: Props, replyTo: ActorRef[ActorRef[T]]) extends SpawnProtocol with Product with Serializable

Spawn a child actor with the given behavior and send back the ActorRef of that child to the given replyTo destination.

If name is an empty string an anonymous actor (with automatically generated name) will be created.

If the name is already taken of an existing actor a unique name will be used by appending a suffix to the the name. The exact format or value of the suffix is an implementation detail that is undefined. This means that reusing the same name for several actors will not result in InvalidActorNameException, but it's better to use unique names to begin with.
