Introduction

SILC Client Library is SILC Client implementation without the actual user interface. The library uses common and core components of SILC protocol from lib/silccore library and normal utility routines from lib/silcutil library. The library has been designed to be complete SILC Client implementation without actual user interface. The library provides the API for the application which it can use to implement generally whatever user interface it wants.

The `silcclient.h' file defines the function prototypes that application must implement in order to be able to create the user interface with the library. The idea is that the application can implement whatever user interface routines in the functions and display the data whatever way it wants. The library is entirely transparent to the user interface and it does not include any user interface specific issues such as window handling or item handling on the screen etc. These does not interest the library.
