+/**
+ * Check if the given peer is currently connected. This function is for special
+ * cirumstances (GNUNET_TESTBED uses it), normal users of the CORE API are
+ * expected to track which peers are connected based on the connect/disconnect
+ * callbacks from GNUNET_CORE_connect.  This function is NOT part of the
+ * 'versioned', 'official' API. The difference between this function and the
+ * function GNUNET_CORE_is_peer_connected() is that this one returns
+ * synchronously after looking in the CORE API cache. The function
+ * GNUNET_CORE_is_peer_connected() sends a message to the CORE service and hence
+ * its response is given asynchronously.
+ *
+ * @param h the core handle
+ * @param pid the identity of the peer to check if it has been connected to us
+ * @return GNUNET_YES if the peer is connected to us; GNUNET_NO if not
