.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>

int 
libssh2_banner_set(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *banner);

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by 
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

\fIbanner\fP - A pointer to a user defined banner

Set the banner that will be sent to the remote host when the SSH session is 
started with 
.BR libssh2_session_startup(3)
  This is optional; a banner corresponding to the protocol and libssh2 version will be sent by default.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.
