20 /****h* silcutil/SILC File Descriptor Stream Interface
24 * Implementation of SILC File Descriptor Stream. The file descriptor
25 * stream can be used read from and write to a file descriptor. This
26 * interface should be used only with real file descriptors, not with
27 * sockets. Use the SILC Socket Stream for sockets.
29 * SILC File Descriptor Stream is not thread-safe. If same stream must be
30 * used in multithreaded environment concurrency control must be employed.

37 /****f* silcutil/SilcFDStreamAPI/silc_fd_stream_create
41 * SilcStream silc_fd_stream_create(int fd);
45 * Creates file descriptor stream for the open file descriptor indicated
46 * by `fd'. The stream is closed with the silc_stream_close and destroyed
47 * with the silc_stream_destroy.
49 * The silc_stream_set_notifier must be called in order to be able to read
50 * from and write to this file descriptor stream.

55 /****f* silcutil/SilcFDStreamAPI/silc_fd_stream_create2
59 * SilcStream silc_fd_stream_create2(int read_fd, int write_fd);
63 * Creates file descriptor stream for the open file descriptors indicated
64 * by `read_fd' and `write_fd'. The `read_fd' must be opened for reading
65 * and `write_fd' opened for writing. The stream is closed with the
66 * silc_stream_close and destroyed with the silc_stream_destroy.
68 * The silc_stream_set_notifier must be called in order to be able to read
69 * from and write to this file descriptor stream.

84 * file indicated by `filename'. If the `reading' is TRUE the file is
85 * opened for reading. If the `writing' is TRUE the file is opened
88 * The silc_stream_set_notifier must be called in order to be able to read
89 * from and write to this file descriptor stream.
