It * can be used to create TCP/IP connections and servers. Various utility * functions for resolving various information is also provided. * * On WIN32 systems the SILC Net API must initialized by calling the * silc_net_win32_init and uninitialized when the application ends by * calling the silc_net_win32_uninit function. The initializing must be * done in order to assure that the SILC Net API works correctly. * ***/ #ifndef SILCNET_H #define SILCNET_H /* Prototypes */ /****f* silcutil/SilcNetAPI/silc_net_create_server * * SYNOPSIS * * int silc_net_create_server(int port, char *ip_addr); * * DESCRIPTION * * This function creates server or daemon or listener or what ever.
