SilcTaskType NAME
        typedef enum { ... } SilcTaskType;
DESCRIPTION
        SILC has three types of tasks, non-timeout tasks (tasks that perform
        over file descriptors), timeout tasks and generic tasks (tasks that
        apply to every file descriptor). This type is sent as argument for the
        task registering function, silc_schedule_task_add.
SOURCE
        typedef enum {
          /* File descriptor task that performs some event over file descriptors.
             These tasks are for example network connections. */
          SILC_TASK_FD           = 0,

          /* Timeout tasks are tasks that are executed after the specified
             time has elapsed. After the task is executed the task is removed
             automatically from the scheduler. It is safe to re-register the
             task in task callback. It is also safe to unregister a task in
             the task callback. */
          SILC_TASK_TIMEOUT,

          /* Generic tasks are non-timeout tasks and they apply to all file
             descriptors, except to those that have explicitly registered a
             non-timeout task. These tasks are there to make it simpler and faster
             to execute common code that applies to all connections. These are,
             for example, receiving packets from network and sending packets to
             network. It doesn't make much sense to register a task that receives
             a packet from network to every connection when you can have one task
             that applies to all connections. This is what generic tasks are for.
             Generic tasks are not bound to any specific file descriptor, however,
             the correct file descriptor must be passed as argument to task
             registering function. */
