24 * The SILC secure binary packet protocol interface, provides interface for
25 * sending and receiving SILC packets. The interface provides a packet
26 * engine, that can be used to receive packets from packet streams, and
27 * routines for sending all kinds of SILC packets.
29 * The packet engine and packet stream are thread safe. They can be safely
30 * used in multi threaded environment.
