abstract class Behavior[T] extends AnyRef
The behavior of an actor defines how it reacts to the messages that it receives. The message may either be of the type that the Actor declares and which is part of the ActorRef signature, or it may be a system Signal that expresses a lifecycle event of either this actor or one of its child actors.
Behaviors can be formulated in a number of different ways, either by creating a derived class or by employing factory methods like the ones in the ScalaDSL$ object.

      Process an incoming Signal and return the next behavior. Process an incoming Signal and return the next behavior. This means that all lifecycle hooks, ReceiveTimeout, Terminated and Failed messages can initiate a behavior change. The returned behavior can in addition to normal behaviors be one of the canned special objects: * returning Stoppedwill terminate this Behavior * returningSamedesignates to reuse the current Behavior * returningUnhandledkeeps the same Behavior and signals that the message was not yet handledCode calling this method should use Behavior$ canonicalizeto replace the special objects with real Behaviors.
