.SH NAME
libssh2_sftp_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file
.SH 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);
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIsftp\fP - SFTP instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_sftp_init(3)
\fIsourcefile\fP - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry
\fIsourcefile_len\fP - Length of the path and name of the existing
filesystem entry
\fIdestfile\fP - Path and name of the target filesystem entry
\fIdestfile_len\fP - Length of the path and name of the target
filesystem entry
\fIflags\fP -
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 filesystem 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.
.SH 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.
.SH ERRORS
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT\fP -
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL\fP - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to
be returned by the server.
