Structure SilcPacketContext
NAME
typedef struct { ... } SilcPacketContext;
DESCRIPTION
In packet sending this is filled and sent to silc_packet_assemble
which then uses it to assemble new packet. In packet reception pointer
to this context is sent to silc_packet_parse which parses the packet
and returns the relevant information to this structure. On packet
reception returned ID's are always the hash values of the ID's from
the packet.
Short description of the fields following:
SilcBuffer buffer
The data buffer.
SilcPacketType type
Type of the packet. Types are defined below.
SilcPacketFlags flags
Packet flags. Flags are defined above.
unsigned char *src_id
SilcUInt8 src_id_len
unsigned char src_id_type
Source ID, its length and type. On packet reception retuned ID's
are always the hash values of the ID's from the packet.
unsigned char *dst_id;
SilcUInt8 dst_id_len;
unsigned char src_id_type;
Destination ID, its length and type. On packet reception retuned
ID's are always the hash values of the ID's from the packet.
SilcUInt16 truelen
SilcUInt8 padlen
The true lenght of the packet and the padded length of the packet.
These may be set by the caller before calling any of the
silc_packet_* routines. If not provided the library will calculate
the values.
int users;
Reference counter for this context. The context is freed only
after the reference counter hits zero. The counter is added
calling silc_packet_context_dup and decreased by calling the
silc_packet_context_free.
SilcUInt32 sequence;
Packet sequence number.
