NAME
libssh2_knownhost_add - add a known host SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> int libssh2_knownhost_add(LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOSTS *hosts, char *host, char *salt, char *key, size_t keylen, int typemask, struct libssh2_knownhost **store); DESCRIPTION
We discourage use of this function as of libssh2 1.2.5. Instead we strongly urge users to use libssh2_knownhost_addc(3) instead, which as a more complete API. libssh2_knownhost_add(3) is subject for removal in a future release. Adds a known host to the collection of known hosts identified by the 'hosts' handle. host is a pointer the host name in plain text or hashed. If hashed, it must be provided base64 encoded. The host name can be the IP numeri- cal address of the host or the full name. saltP is a pointer to the salt used for the host hashing, if the host is provided hashed. If the host is provided in plain text, salt has no meaning. The salt has to be provided base64 encoded with a trailing zero byte. key is a pointer to the key for the given host. keylen is the total size in bytes of the key pointed to by the key argument typemask is a bitmask that specifies format and info about the data passed to this function. Specificly, it details what format the host name is, what format the key is and what key type it is. The host name is given as one of the following types: LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_TYPE_PLAIN, LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_TYPE_SHA1 or LIBSSH2_KNOWN- HOST_TYPE_CUSTOM. The key is encoded using one of the following encodings: LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEYENC_RAW or LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEYENC_BASE64. The key is using one of these algorithms: LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEY_RSA1, LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEY_SSHRSA or LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_KEY_SSHDSS. store should point to a pointer that gets filled in to point to the known host data after the addition. NULL can be passed if you don't care about this pointer. RETURN VALUE
Returns a regular libssh2 error code, where negative values are error codes and 0 indicates success. AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.2, deprecated since libssh2 1.2.5. Use libssh2_knownhost_addc(3) instead! SEE ALSO

NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION - callback for known host matching logic SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> enum curl_khstat { CURLKHSTAT_FINE_ADD_TO_FILE, CURLKHSTAT_FINE, CURLKHSTAT_REJECT, /* reject the connection, return an error */ CURLKHSTAT_DEFER, /* do not accept it, but we can't answer right now so this causes a CURLE_DEFER error but otherwise the connection will be left intact etc */ }; enum curl_khmatch { CURLKHMATCH_OK, /* match */ CURLKHMATCH_MISMATCH, /* host found, key mismatch! */ CURLKHMATCH_MISSING, /* no matching host/key found */ }; struct curl_khkey { const char *key; /* points to a zero-terminated string encoded with base64 if len is zero, otherwise to the "raw" data */ size_t len; enum curl_khtype keytype; }; int ssh_keycallback(CURL *easy, const struct curl_khkey *knownkey, const struct curl_khkey *foundkey, enum curl_khmatch, void *clientp); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, ssh_keycallback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. It gets called when the known_host matching has been done, to allow the application to act and decide for libcurl how to proceed. The call- back will only be called if CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS(3) is also set. This callback function gets passed the CURL handle, the key from the known_hosts file knownkey, the key from the remote site foundkey, info from libcurl on the matching status and a custom pointer (set with CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA(3)). It MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how to act: CURLKHSTAT_FINE_ADD_TO_FILE The host+key is accepted and libcurl will append it to the known_hosts file before continuing with the connection. This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there. The adding of data to the file is done by completely replacing the file with a new copy, so the permissions of the file must allow this. CURLKHSTAT_FINE The host+key is accepted libcurl will continue with the connection. This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there. CURLKHSTAT_REJECT The host+key is rejected. libcurl will deny the connection to continue and it will be closed. CURLKHSTAT_DEFER The host+key is rejected, but the SSH connection is asked to be kept alive. This feature could be used when the app wants to some- how return back and act on the host+key situation and then retry without needing the overhead of setting it up from scratch again. DEFAULT
