+ <p>The <c>Timeout</c> is the time the request is valid. The

+ <p>The <c>Pid</c> is the process handling the supervision of the
+ SNMP manager start. When the manager has started a completion
+ message will be sent to the client from this process:
+ <c>{snmpm_started, Pid}</c>. If the SNMP manager was not started
+ in time, a timeout message will be sent to the client:
+ <c>{snmpm_start_timeout, Pid}</c>. </p>
+ <p>A client application that is dependent on the SNMP manager
+ will use this function in order to be notified of when the
+ manager has started. There are two situations when this
+ is useful:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>During the start of a system, when a client application
+ <em>could</em> start prior to the SNMP manager but is dependent
+ upon it, and therefor has to wait for it to start.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>When the SNMP manager has crashed, the dependent client
+ application has to wait for the SNMP manager to be restarted
+ before it can <em>reconnect</em>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The function returns the pid() of a handler process, that does
+ the supervision on behalf of the client application. Note that the
+ client application is linked to this handler. </p>
+ <p>This function is used in conjunction with the monitor function.</p>
