        <p>Creates an autostart configuration file on <c>Node</c>. The name of the file is automatically deducted from consulting the Runtime_Tools configuration parameters at <c>Node</c>.</p>
        <p><c>R</c> is the number of allowed autostarts remaining.</p>
        <p><c>Opts</c> is the options which shall be given to the runtime component. See <seealso marker="inviso#add_nodes/2">inviso:add_nodes/2,3</seealso>.</p>
        <p><c>TracerData</c> is used when initiating tracing on this node. See <seealso marker="inviso#init_tracing/1">inviso:init_tracing/1,2</seealso>.</p>
        <p><c>CmdFiles</c> points out files containing instructions understood by the <c>inviso_autostart_server</c> implementation of an autostart initiator.</p>
        <p><c>Bindings</c> is a list of <c>{Var, Val}</c> tuples, where <c>Var</c> is the name of a variable and <c>Val</c> the actual value of the variable.</p>
        <p><c>Transl</c> means that <c>M1:F1/Arity</c> shall be translated into <c>M2:F2</c>.</p>
        <p><c>RTtag</c> is the incarnation tag of the runtime component. See See <seealso marker="inviso#add_nodes/2">inviso:add_nodes/2,3</seealso>.</p>
