+ * SilcStack stack, SilcSchedule parent);
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
- * Initializes the scheduler. This returns the scheduler context that
- * is given as argument usually to all silc_schedule_* functions.
- * The `app_context' is application specific context that is delivered
- * to all task callbacks. The caller must free that context. The
- * 'app_context' can be for example the application itself.
+ * Initializes the scheduler. This returns the scheduler context or NULL
+ * on error. The `app_context' is application specific context that is
+ * delivered to all task callbacks. The caller must free that context.
*
* The `max_tasks' is the maximum number of file descriptor and socket
* tasks in the scheduler. Set value to 0 to use default. Operating
* limit can be significantly increased when this function is called in
* priviliged mode (as super user).
*
+ * If `parent' is non-NULL it will be the parent of the new scheduler.
+ * If it is NULL this will create a new parent scheduler. If `parent'
+ * is already a child scheduler, this will create a new child to the
+ * child's parent. Even if `parent' is non-NULL the new child scheduler
+ * is still independent scheduler and will run independently of its
+ * parent. However, each child and parent will share event tasks
+ * added with silc_schedule_task_add_event.
+ *
+ * If `stack' is non-NULL all memory allocation for the scheduler is done
+ * from the `stack'. Scheduler's stack may be retrieved by calling
+ * silc_schedule_get_stack. A stack is created for scheduler always even
+ * if `stack' is NULL. If it is non-NULL the created stack is a child
+ * stack using `stack' as its parent. This means that memory allocated
+ * by the scheduler will be returned to the `stack' when scheduler is
+ * destroyed.

+ * SilcTask

+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Adds an event task to scheduler. These tasks are asynchronous events
+ * that one or more receivers may connect to and receive information or
+ * data when the event is signalled. Event tasks are fast and may be
+ * used to efficiently deliver events and data to multiple receivers. The
+ * `event' is the name of the event, and can be used to connect to the
+ * event and to signal it.
+ *
+ * The events are global among the `scheduler', its parent scheduler and
+ * any of its child schedulers. It does not matter to which scheduler
+ * event is added to, connected to or signalled. Signal will reach any
+ * connected entity, as long as it is the parent or one of the fellow
+ * children of `schedule'.
+ *
+ * To connect to an event call silc_schedule_event_connect.
+ * To disconnect from event call silc_schedule_event_disconnect.
+ * To signal event call silc_schedule_event_signal.
+ * To delete event task call silc_schedule_task_del or
+ * silc_schedule_task_del_event.
+ *
+ * The variable argument list is used to describe the arguments of the
+ * event. The variable arguments are a list of zero or more SilcParam
+ * values. This function returns the event task context or NULL on error.
