libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3) 					  libssh2 manual					   libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)

NAME

       libssh2_sftp_open - open filehandle for file on SFTP.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>
       #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *
       libssh2_sftp_open_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *filename,
			    unsigned int filename_len, unsigned long flags,
			    long mode, int open_type);

DESCRIPTION

       sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

       filename - Remote file/directory resource to open

       filename_len - Length of filename

       flags - Any reasonable combination of the LIBSSH2_FXF_* constants:

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_READ
		     Open the file for reading.

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_WRITE
		     Open the file for writing.  If both this and LIBSSH2_FXF_READ are specified, the file is opened for both reading and writing.

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_APPEND
		     Force all writes to append data at the end of the file.

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT,
		     If  this flag is specified, then a new file will be created if one does not already exist (if LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC is specified,
		     the new file will be truncated to zero length if it previously exists)

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC
		     Forces an existing file with the same name to  be	truncated  to  zero  length  when  creating  a	file  by  specifying  LIB-
		     SSH2_FXF_CREAT. LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.

	      LIBSSH2_FXF_EXCL
		     Causes the request to fail if the named file already exists.  LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.

       mode  -	POSIX  file  permissions  to  assign  if  the  file  is being newly created. See the LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_* convenience defines in <lib-
       ssh2_sftp.h>

       open_type - Either of LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENFILE (to open a file) or LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENDIR (to open a directory).

RETURN VALUE

       A pointer to the newly created LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE instance or NULL on failure.

ERRORS

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to	be
       returned by the server.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN - Marked for non-blocking I/O but the call would block.

NAME

       libssh2_sftp_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       int  libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP  *sftp,  const char *source_filename, unsigned int source_filename_len, const char *dest_filename,
       unsigned int dest_filename_len, long flags);

       int libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *source_filename, const char *dest_filename);

DESCRIPTION

       sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

       sourcefile - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry

       sourcefile_len - Length of the path and name of the existing filesystem entry

       destfile - Path and name of the target filesystem entry

       destfile_len - Length of the path and name of the target filesystem entry

       flags - Bitmask flags made up of LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_* constants.

       Rename a filesystem object on the remote filesystem. The semantics of this command typically include the ability to move a filsystem object
       between	folders  and/or filesystem mounts. If the LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_OVERWRITE flag is not set and the destfile entry already exists, the
       operation will fail. Use of the other two flags indicate a preference (but not a requirement) for the  remote  end  to  perform	an  atomic
       rename operation and/or using native system calls when possible.

RETURN VALUE

       Return 0 on success or negative on failure.  It returns 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_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to	be
       returned by the server.
