+/****h* silcutil/Local Network Stream Interface
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Local network stream interface enables two or more processes to communicate
+ * with each other in the local machine using local network start.  The
+ * interface provides a form of interprocess communication (IPC) using network
+ * sockets.

+/****f* silcutil/silc_local_net_create_listener
+ *
+ * SYNOPSIS
+ *
+ *    SilcNetListener silc_local_net_create_listener(const char *filepath,
+ *                                                   SilcSchedule schedule,

+ *                                                   void *context);
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ *    Creates a local network stream listener and returns a network server.
+ *    The `filepath' is a local filepath that must be used by the clients to
+ *    connect to the server.
+ *
+ *    The `callback' will be called when a client connects to the listener
+ *    with the `context'.  The returned listener must be closed by calling
+ *    silc_local_net_close_listener.
+ *
+ *    Clients can connect to the listener by calling the
+ *    silc_local_net_connect.
+ *
+ *    Returns NULL on error and set silc_errno.  If `schedule' is NULL this
+ *    will call silc_schedule_get_global to try to get global scheduler.
