+Function silc_packet_wait_init
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+
+ void *silc_packet_wait_init(SilcPacketStream stream,
+ const SilcID *source_id, ...);
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+
+ Initializes a packet waiter for the packet stream `stream' and
+ for the variable argument list of packet types. The function
+ silc_packet_wait can be used to block the thread until a packet
+ has been received.
+
+ This function is used to initialize the waiting and to give the list
+ of packet types that caller wish to receive. The variable argument
+ list must end with -1. To receive all packets use SILC_PACKET_ANY.
+ If the `source_id' is non-NULL then only packets of the specified
+ type from the specified `source_id' are received. If it is NULL
+ then the packet source is ignored.
+
+ Returns a context that must be given to the silc_packet_wait function
+ as argument. Returns NULL on error. To uninitialize the waiting
+ call silc_packet_wait_uninit.
+
+
+NOTES
+
+
+ Note that packets may be available immediately after calling this
+ function and they will be buffered, until silc_packet_wait is called.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+
+
+ void *waiter;
+
+ // Will wait for private message packets
+ waiter = silc_packet_wait_init(stream, NULL,
+ SILC_PACKET_PRIVATE_MESSAGE, -1);
