  <modulesummary>Behaviour module for the SNMP manager user.</modulesummary>
  <description>
    <p>This module defines the behaviour of the manager user. 
      A <c>snmpm_user</c> compliant module 
      must export the following functions: </p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p>handle_error/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_agent/4</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_pdu/4</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_trap/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_inform/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_report/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>handle_invalid_result/2</p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained
    below. </p>
    <p>Some of the function has no defined return value (<c>void()</c>), 
    they can of course return anything. But the functions that do have
    specified return value(s) <em>must</em> adhere to this. None of the 
    functions can use exit of throw to return. </p>

    <p>If the manager is not configured to use any particular
    transport domain, the behaviour <c>handle_agent/4</c>
    will for backwards copmpatibility reasons be called with the old
    <c>IpAddr</c> and <c>PortNumber</c> arguments</p>

        <p>This function is called when the manager needs to
	communicate an "asynchronous" error to the user:
	e.g. failure to send an asynchronous message (i.e. encoding
	error), a received message was discarded due to security
	error, the manager failed to generate a response message to
	a received inform-request, or when receiving an unexpected
	PDU from an agent (could be an expired async request). </p>
	<p>If <c>ReqId</c> is less then 0, it means that this
	information was not available to the manager (that info was
	never retrieved before the message was discarded). </p>
