Which process is :timer.send_interval/3 linked to?

Hello,

The docs for the timer module state the following:

An interval timer, that is, a timer created by evaluating any of the functions apply_interval/4, send_interval/3, and send_interval/2 is linked to the process to which the timer performs its task.

I am not sure of my english here. If I provide a destination to :timer.send_interval/3, the timer is cancelled when the destination process exits, not the process who called the function. Is that correct?

(Of course when destination is different from self().)

By the process to which the timer performs its task they mean the process that is sent to, am I right?

Thank you.
