Function silc_schedule_task_add SYNOPSIS
        SilcTask silc_schedule_task_add(SilcSchedule schedule, SilcUInt32 fd,
                                        SilcTaskCallback callback,
                                        void *context,
                                        long seconds, long useconds,
                                        SilcTaskType type,
                                        SilcTaskPriority priority);
DESCRIPTION
        Registers a new task to the scheduler. This same function is used
        to register all types of tasks. The `type' argument tells what type
        of the task is. Note that when registering non-timeout tasks one
        should also pass 0 as timeout, as the timeout will be ignored anyway.
        Also, note, that one cannot register timeout task with 0 timeout.
        There cannot be zero timeouts, passing zero means no timeout is used
        for the task and SILC_TASK_FD is used as default task type in
        this case.

        The `schedule' is the scheduler context. The `fd' is the file
        descriptor of the task. On WIN32 systems the `fd' is not actual
        file descriptor but some WIN32 event handle. On WIN32 system the `fd'
        may be a socket created by the SILC Net API routines, WSAEVENT object
        created by Winsock2 network routines or arbitrary WIN32 HANDLE object.
        On Unix systems the `fd' is always the real file descriptor.

        The `callback' is the task callback that will be called when some
        event occurs for this task. The `context' is sent as argument to
        the task `callback' function. For timeout tasks the callback is
        called after the specified timeout has elapsed.

        If the `type' is SILC_TASK_TIMEOUT then `seconds' and `useconds'
        may be non-zero.  Otherwise they should be zero. The `priority'
        indicates the priority of the task.

        It is always safe to call this function in any place. New tasks
        may be added also in task callbacks, and in multi-threaded environment
        in other threads as well.
