silc_mime_assembler_purge

SYNOPSIS

    void silc_mime_assembler_purge(SilcMimeAssembler assembler,
                                   SilcUInt32 purge_minutes);

DESCRIPTION

Purges the MIME fragment assembler from old fragments that have never completed into a full MIME message. This function may be called periodically to purge MIME fragments. The `purge_minutes' specify how old fragments are purged. If it is 0, fragments older than 5 minutes are purged, by default. The value is in minutes.

It is usefull to call this periodically to assure that memory is not consumed needlessly by keeping old unfinished fragments in a long running assembler.
