Structure SilcPacketContext NAME
        typedef struct { ... } SilcPacketContext;
DESCRIPTION
        In packet sending this is filled and sent to silc_packet_assemble
        which then uses it to assemble new packet. In packet reception pointer
        to this context is sent to silc_packet_parse which parses the packet
        and returns the relevant information to this structure. On packet
        reception returned ID's are always the hash values of the ID's from
        the packet.

        Short description of the fields following:

        SilcBuffer buffer

          The data buffer.

        SilcPacketType type

          Type of the packet. Types are defined below.

        SilcPacketFlags flags

          Packet flags. Flags are defined above.

        unsigned char *src_id
        SilcUInt8 src_id_len
        unsigned char src_id_type

          Source ID, its length and type. On packet reception retuned ID's
          are always the hash values of the ID's from the packet.

        unsigned char *dst_id;
        SilcUInt8 dst_id_len;
        unsigned char src_id_type;

          Destination ID, its length and type. On packet reception retuned
          ID's are always the hash values of the ID's from the packet.

        SilcUInt16 truelen
        SilcUInt8 padlen

          The true lenght of the packet and the padded length of the packet.
          These may be set by the caller before calling any of the
          silc_packet_* routines. If not provided the library will calculate
          the values.

        int users;

          Reference counter for this context. The context is freed only
          after the reference counter hits zero. The counter is added
          calling silc_packet_context_dup and decreased by calling the
          silc_packet_context_free.

        SilcUInt32 sequence;

          Packet sequence number.
