        <p>Request a notification (message) when the SNMP manager has 
          started. </p>
        <p>The <c>Timeout</c> is the time the request is valid. The 
          value has to be greater then zero. </p>
        <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>

        </list>
        <p><c>Prefix</c> should either be an indention string
          (e.g. a list of spaces) or a positive integer (which will be used
