Structure SilcClientOperations
NAME

        typedef struct { ... } SilcClientOperations;

DESCRIPTION

        SILC Client Operations. These must be implemented by the application.
        The Client library may call any of these routines at any time.  The
        routines are used to deliver certain information to the application
        or from the application to the client library.

SOURCE

             message to a specific connection.  `conn', however, may be NULL.
             The `type' indicates the type of the message sent by the library.
             The application can for example filter the message according the
             type.  The variable argument list is arguments to the formatted
             message that `msg' may be. */

             command defines the number and type of arguments it passes to the
             application (on error they are not sent).

             The arguments are sent in the same order as servers sends them.  The
             arguments are same as received from the server except for ID's.  If
             ID is received application receives the corresponding entry to the
