Structure SilcClientParams NAME
        typedef struct { ... } SilcClientParams;
DESCRIPTION
        Client parameters. This can be filled with proper values and
        given as argument to the silc_client_alloc function. The structure
        hold various parameters which affects the function of the client.
SOURCE
        typedef struct SilcClientParamsStruct {
          /* If this boolean is set to TRUE then the client library will use
             threads.  Any of the callback functions in the SilcClientOperations
             and other callbacks may be called at any time in a thread.  The
             application may need to employ appropriate concurrency control
             in the callbacks to protect application specific data. */
          SilcBool threads;

          /* Nickname format string. This can be used to order the client library
             to save the nicknames in the library in a certain format. Since
             nicknames are not unique in SILC it is possible to have multiple same
             nicknames. Using this format string it is possible to order the library
             to separate the multiple same nicknames from each other. If this is
             empty then default format is used which is the default nickname
             without anything else. The string MUST be NULL terminated.

             Following format types are available:

             %n  nickname      - the real nickname returned by the server (mandatory)
             %a  number        - ascending number in case there are several
                                 same nicknames (fe. nick#2 and nick#3)
             %h  hostname      - the stripped hostname of the client
             %H  full hostname - the full hostname of the client

             Example format strings: "%n#%a"     (fe. nick#2, nick#3)
                                     "%n#%h%a"   (fe. nick#host, nick#host2)
                                     "%a!%n#%h"  (fe. nick#host, 2!nick#host)

             Note that there must always be some separator characters around '%n'
             format.  It is not possible to put format characters before or after
             '%n' without separators (such ash '#').  Also note that the separator
             character should be a character that cannot be part of normal nickname.
             Note that, using '@' as a separator is not recommended as the nickname
             string may contain it to separate a server name from the nickname (eg.
             nickname@silcnet.org).

             saved nicknames even if there are no multiple same nicknames in the
             cache. By default this is FALSE, which means that the `nickname_format'
             is employed only if the library will receive a nickname that is
             already saved in the cache. It is recommended to leave this to FALSE
             value. */

             nickname is available only from the SilcClientEntry structure.  When this

             is TRUE the server name is still parsed to SilcChannelEntry.  Note that,
