Hello,

 I'm using silc toolkit to write some applications. I have question
 about formating a nick. I get a SilcClientEntry and I want to perform
 some operation, such as setting his operator channel flag. I thought of
 silc_client_command_* calls, but they want a nickname, not a
 SilcClientEntry. There is no problem for me to put there
 sender->nickname, but the problem is, when there are more users with
 the same nick on the channel. As the library parses the nickname with
 this part of code:

  if (client->internal->params->nickname_parse)
    client->internal->params->nickname_parse(cmd->argv[3], &nickname);
  else
    nickname = strdup(cmd->argv[3]);

  /* Find client entry */
  client_entry = silc_idlist_get_client(cmd->client, conn, nickname,
                                        cmd->argv[3], TRUE);

 ...

 I thought of using silc_client_nickname_format, but it's not documented and:
/* Prototypes. These are used only by the library. Application should not
   call these directly. */


 So my question is what is the cleanest way to do this? Encode the
 payload directly in the application and send it? It can change much
 more frequently then the original command, so using the silcclient
 interface seems a better way to do it for me, but the stringencoding
 and then decoding it in the library makes little sense to me. Or is
 there even a cleaner way I haven't found yet?



     Thanks,
        Juraj.
