117              packet
118              is a request or a reply. Flag values can be set, but not defined
119              by
120              the caller.
121              This field is filled in by the application wit the exception of

123              LWRES_LWPACKETFLAG_RESPONSE bit, which is set by the library in

135              may be dropped.
136              This field must be set by the application.

143              between

153              Results between 0x00000000 and 0x03ffffff are reserved for

167<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">authtype</code></span></dt>
168<dd><p>
169              defines the packet level authentication that is used.
170              Authorisation types between 0x1000 and 0xffff are application
171              defined
172              and types between 0x0000 and 0x0fff are reserved for library
173              use.

176<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">authlen</code></span></dt>
177<dd><p>
178              gives the length of the authentication data.
179              Since packet authentication is currently not used, this must be
