NAME

       libssh2_channel_read_ex - read data from a channel stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       ssize_t libssh2_channel_read_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int stream_id, char *buf, size_t buflen);

       ssize_t libssh2_channel_read(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen);

       ssize_t libssh2_channel_read_stderr(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen);

DESCRIPTION

       Attempt	to  read data from an active channel stream. All channel streams have one standard I/O substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up
       to 2^32 extended data streams as identified by the selected stream_id. The SSH2 protocol currently defines a stream  ID	of  1  to  be  the
       stderr substream.

       channel - active channel stream to read from.

       stream_id - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)

       buf - pointer to storage buffer to read data into

       buflen - size of the buf storage

       libssh2_channel_read(3) and libssh2_channel_read_stderr(3) are macros.

RETURN VALUE

       Actual  number  of  bytes  read	or  negative  on  failure.  It	returns  LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN  when  it  would otherwise block. While LIB-
       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.

       Note that a return value of zero (0) can in fact be a legitimate value and only signals that no payload data was read. It is not an error.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED - The channel has been closed.

NAME

       libssh2_channel_write_ex - write data to a channel stream blocking

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       ssize_t libssh2_channel_write_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
					int stream_id, char *buf,
					size_t buflen);

DESCRIPTION

       Write data to a channel stream. All channel streams have one standard I/O substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up to 2^32 extended data
       streams as identified by the selected stream_id. The SSH2 protocol currently defines a stream ID of 1 to be the stderr substream.

       channel - active channel stream to write to.

       stream_id - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)

       buf - pointer to buffer to write

       buflen - size of the data to write

       libssh2_channel_write(3) and libssh2_channel_write_stderr(3) are convenience macros for this function.

       libssh2_channel_write_ex(3) will use as much as possible of the buffer and put it into a single SSH protocol packet. This means that to get
       maximum performance when sending larger files, you should try to always pass in at least 32K of data to this function.

RETURN VALUE

       Actual number of bytes written or negative on failure.  LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a
       negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED - The channel has been closed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_EOF_SENT - The channel has been requested to be closed.
