+
+<p>Starts an Erlang node with name <c>Node</c> on host
+ <c>Host</c> as specified by the combination of options in
+ <c>Opts</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>Options <c>Username</c> and <c>Password</c> will be used
+ to log in onto the remote host <c>Host</c>.
+ Username, if omitted, defaults to the current user name,
+ and password is empty by default.</p>
+
+ <p>A list of functions specified in the <c>Startup</c> option will be
+ executed after startup of the node. Note that all used modules should be
+ present in the code path on the <c>Host</c>.</p>
+
+ <p>The timeouts are applied as follows:
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <c>BootTimeout</c> - time to start the Erlang node, in seconds.
+ Defaults to 3 seconds. If node does not become pingable within this time,
+ the result <c>{error, boot_timeout, NodeName}</c> is returned;
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <c>InitTimeout</c> - time to wait for the node until it calls the
+ internal callback function informing master about successfull startup.
+ Defaults to one second.
+ In case of timed out message the result
+ <c>{error, init_timeout, NodeName}</c> is returned;
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <c>StartupTimeout</c> - time to wait intil the node finishes to run
+ the <c>StartupFunctions</c>. Defaults to one second.
+ If this timeout occurs, the result
+ <c>{error, startup_timeout, NodeName}</c> is returned.
+ </item>
+ </list></p>
+
+ <p>Option <c>monitor_master</c> specifies, if the slave node should be
+ stopped in case of master node stop. Defaults to false.</p>
+
+ <p>Option <c>kill_if_fail</c> specifies, if the slave node should be
+ killed in case of a timeout during initialization or startup.
+ Defaults to true. Note that node also may be still alive it the boot
+ timeout occurred, but it will not be killed in this case.</p>
+
+ <p>Option <c>erlang_flags</c> specifies, which flags will be added
+ to the parameters of the <c>erl</c> executable.</p>
+
+ <p>Special return values are:
+ <list>
+ <item><c>{error, already_started, NodeName}</c> - if the node with
+ the given name is already started on a given host;</item>
+ <item><c>{error, started_not_connected, NodeName}</c> - if node is
+ started, but not connected to the master node.</item>
+ <item><c>{error, not_alive, NodeName}</c> - if node on which the
+ <c>ct_slave:start/3</c> is called, is not alive. Note that
+ <c>NodeName</c> is the name of current node in this case.</item>
+ </list></p>
