+/****h* silcutil/Stream Interface
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* other stream API derived from this API can use this same interface for
* reading and writing.
*
+ * The SilcStream is an abstraction. It can represent any stream; socket
+ * stream, file descriptor stream, packet stream, etc. See examples in
+ * silcsocketstream.h and silcfdstream.h.
+ *
* Note that stream implementations usually are not thread-safe. Always
* verify whether a stream implementation is thread-safe by checking their
* corresponding documentation.

+ * SilcBool silc_stream_set_notifier(SilcStream stream,

+ * SilcStreamNotifier notifier,
+ * void *context);
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
- * Set a notifier callback for the stream indicated by `stream' to be called
- * when some action takes place on the stream. This effectively means
- * scheduling the stream for various actions, that then eventually will
- * be delivered to caller in the `notifier' callback. It is called for
- * example when data is available for reading or writing, or if an error
- * occurs. This can be called at any time for valid stream.
+ * Schedule `stream' for stream events. Set the `notifier' callback to
+ * be called when some event takes place on the stream. The event will
+ * be delievered to the `notifier' callback with the `context'. It is
+ * called for example when data is available for reading or writing, or
+ * if an error occurs. This can be called at any time for valid stream.
+ * This call will also set the `stream' into non-blocking mode.
+ *
* If `notifier' is set to NULL no callback will be called for the stream,
* and the stream is not scheduled anymore.
*
+ * This function returns FALSE if the stream could not be scheduled.
+ * Returns TRUE on success. The `schedule' must always be non-NULL.
