- * Create a link from a 'master' controller to a slave controller.

- * specified slave controller. Note that the slave controller runs at
- * the 'slave_host', which may or may not be the same host as the
- * 'delegated_host' (for hierarchical delegations). The configuration
- * of the slave controller is given and to be used to either create
- * the slave controller or to connect to an existing slave controller
- * process. 'is_subordinate' specifies if the given slave controller
- * should be started and managed by the master controller, or if the
- * slave already has a master and this is just a secondary master that
- * is also allowed to use the existing slave.
+ * Create a link from slave controller to delegated controller. Whenever the
