arguments for all command replies to help SILC client software developers
to process them.
+<br /> <br />
+<b>NOTE: </b>The following list of command reply arguments are sent when
+the command was executed successfully. If an error occurred, the
+`command_reply' client operation's 'success' argument is FALSE, and the
+'status' argument includes the error status. In this case the arguments
+returned are dependent of the 'status' argument. See all
+<a href="silcstatus_args.html">SilcStatus error arguments</a> for these
+arguments.

or not, the 'command' is the command reply enumeration, and the 'status'

The following table describes all commands and arguments that the client
-library sends in the 'command_reply' client operation to the application.
-By default all arguments that the library sends to application are valid
-pointers. However, it is possible that some pointers may be NULL. If
-this is the case it is separately mentioned that the argument may be NULL.
-In this case application must ignore that argument. The 'command_reply'

'fingerprint', 'channel_usermodes' and 'attrs'. If 'fingerprint' is valid its
-length is 20 bytes. If 'channels' is valid it can be parsed with
-silc_channel_payload_parse_list function. It is the list of channels user
-has joined. If the 'channel_usermodes' is valid it can be parsed with
-silc_get_mode_list function. It is the list of the user's modes on the

-returned by the client and it can be parsed by traversing the SilcDList

+has as many entries as there are entries in the `channels' list, and the

+`channels' list. The `channel_usermodes' is the table of the user's modes
+on the joined channels. The 'attr' is the Requested Attributes that may
