Function silc_packet_wait(1)
SYNOPSIS
void *silc_packet_wait_init(SilcPacketStream stream, ...);
DESCRIPTION
Initializes a packet waiter for the packet stream `stream' and
for the variable argument list of packet types. The function
silc_packet_wait can be used to block the thread until a packet
has been received. This function is used to initialize the waiting
and to give the list of packet types that caller wish to receive.
The variable argument list must end with -1. To receive all
packets use SILC_PACKET_ANY. Returns a context that must be given
to the silc_packet_wait function as argument. Returns NULL on
error. To uninitialize the waiting call silc_packet_wait_uninit.
NOTES
Note that packets may be available immediately after calling this
function and they will be buffered, until silc_packet_wait is called.
EXAMPLE
void *waiter;
// Will wait for private message packets
waiter = silc_packet_wait_init(stream,
SILC_PACKET_PRIVATE_MESSAGE, -1);
