        <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>
            <p>During the start of a system, when a client application 
              <em>could</em> start prior to the SNMP manager but is dependent
              upon it, and therefor has to wait for it to start.</p>
          </item>
          <item>
            <p>When the SNMP manager has crashed, the dependent client 
              application has to wait for the SNMP manager to be restarted
              before it can <em>reconnect</em>.</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>The function returns the pid() of a handler process, that does
          the supervision on behalf of the client application. Note that the 
          client application is linked to this handler. </p>
        <p>This function is used in conjunction with the monitor function.</p>
