Event handlers plugged into this manager will receive the events from
all the test nodes as well as information from the CT Master server
itself.</p>
+
+ <p>User specific event handlers may be plugged into a Common Test event
+ manager, either by telling Common Test to install them before the test
+ run (see below), or by adding the handlers dynamically during the test
+ run by means of
+ <c>gen_event:add_handler/3</c> or <c>gen_event:add_sup_handler/3</c>.
+ In the latter scenario, the reference of the Common Test event manager is
+ required. To get it, call <c>ct:get_event_mgr_ref/0</c> or (on the CT
+ Master node) <c>ct_master:get_event_mgr_ref/0</c>.</p>
