+ *
+ * The SILC secure binary packet protocol interface, provides interface for
+ * sending and receiving SILC packets.  The interface provides a packet engine,
+ * that can be used to receive packets from packet streams, and routines
+ * for sending all kinds of SILC packets.
+ *
+ * The packet engine and packet stream are thread safe.  They can be safely
+ * used in multi threaded environment.
