pvm_start_pvmd - Starts new PVM daemon.

       The routine pvm_start_pvmd starts up a pvmd3 process, the master of a new virtual machine.  It returns as
       soon  as  the  pvmd  is  started and ready for work.  If the block parameter is nonzero and a hostfile is
       passed to the pvmd as a  parameter,  it  returns  when  all  hosts  marked  to  start  have  been  added.
       pvm_start_pvmd returns zero on success.

       If PVM is compiled to allow running more than one pvmd per host, a task calling pvm_start_pvmd before any
       other  pvm  functions  will connect to the pvmd that it starts.  pvm_start_pvmd sets environment variable
       PVMSOCK to the address printed by the pvmd as it starts up.

       The following error conditions can be returned

       PvmDupHost
              A pvmd is already running.

       PvmSysErr
              The local pvmd is not responding.
