Structure SilcClientConnectionParams NAME
        typedef struct { ... } SilcClientConnectionParams;
DESCRIPTION
        Client connection parameters.  This can be filled by the application
        and given as argument to silc_client_connect_to_server,
        silc_client_connect_to_client, silc_client_key_exchange or
        silc_client_send_key_agreement.
