+.SH NAME
+.P
+sam_start \- Start health checking
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.P
+\fB#include <corosync/sam.h>\fR
+
+.P
+\fBcs_error_t sam_start (void);\fR
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+The \fBsam_start\fR function is used to start health checking of application.
+After calling this function, the active process needs to send healthchecks
+within the registered time interval by calling \fBsam_hc_send(3)\fR. If
+event driven healthchecking is configured by calling \fBsam_register(3)\fR,
+an internal thread will be created and send health check confirmations four
+times per \fItime_interval\fR.
+
+.P
+Application must be registered by calling \fBsam_register(3)\fR before this
+function can be called.
+
+.P
+An application can always stop health checking by calling the \fBsam_stop(3)\fR
+function.
+
+.P
+If SAM is initialized with quorum policy \fISAM_RECOVERY_POLICY_QUIT\fR or
+\fISAM_RECOVERY_POLICY_RESTART\fR \fBsam_start\fR will block until corosync
+becomes quorate.
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.P
+This call return CS_OK value if successful, otherwise and error is returned. If
+SAM is initialized with quorum policy, returned error can also be quorum error.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+CS_ERR_BAD_HANDLE
+component was not registered by calling \fBsam_register(3)\fR function.
