\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by \fBlibssh2_session_init_ex(3)\fP
When any of libssh2 functions return \fBLIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN\fP an application
should wait for the socket to have data available for reading or
writing. Depending on the return value of
\fIlibssh2_session_block_directions(3)\fP an application should wait for read,
write or both.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns the set of directions as a binary mask. Can be a combination of:
LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND: Inbound direction blocked.
LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND: Outbound direction blocked.
Application should wait for data to be available for socket prior to calling a

\fBLIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND\fP writefds set should contain the socket.
