    @discardableResult init(priority: TaskPriority? = nil, operation: sending @escaping @isolated(any) () async throws -> Success)

    Parameters

    priority

    The priority of the task. Pass nil to use the priority from Task.currentPriority.

    operation

    The operation to perform.

    Use this function when creating asynchronous work that operates on behalf of the synchronous function that calls it. Like Task.detached(priority:operation:), this function creates a separate, top-level task. Unlike detach(priority:operation:), the task created by Task.init(priority:operation:) inherits the priority and actor context of the caller, so the operation is treated more like an asynchronous extension to the synchronous operation.

    You need to keep a reference to the task if you want to cancel it by calling the Task.cancel() method. Discarding your reference to a detached task doesn’t implicitly cancel that task, it only makes it impossible for you to explicitly cancel the task.
