        <p>This function is synchronous, which means that it will return when
          the discovery process has been completed or failed. </p>

        <p>The <c>DiscoHandler</c> module is used during the discovery 
          process. See

          for more info. </p>

        <p>The <c>ExtraInfo</c> argument is passed on to the callback functions
          of the <c>DiscoHandler</c>. </p>

        <note><p>If we are not at security-level <c>noAuthNoPriv</c>,
          this could be complicated, since the agent will then continue 
          with stage 2, before which the usm-related updates must be 
          done. </p></note>

        <note><p>The default discovery handler will require 
          additional actions by the caller and the discovery will not work
          if the security-level is higher then <c>noAuthNoPriv</c>. </p></note>
