.SH NAME
|
|
libssh2_sftp_fstat_ex - get or set attributes on an SFTP file handle
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <libssh2.h>
|
|
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fIhandle\fP - SFTP File Handle as returned by
|
|
.BR libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
|
|
|
|
\fIattrs\fP - Pointer to an LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES structure to set file
|
|
metadata from or into depending on the value of setstat.
|
|
|
|
\fIsetstat\fP - When non-zero, the file's metadata will be updated
|
|
with the data found in attrs according to the values of attrs->flags
|
|
and other relevant member attributes.
|
|
|
|
Get or Set statbuf type data for a given LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE instance.
|
|
.SH DATA TYPES
|
|
LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES is a typedefed struct that is defined as below
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
struct _LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES {
|
|
|
|
/* If flags & ATTR_* bit is set, then the value in this
|
|
* struct will be meaningful Otherwise it should be ignored
|
|
*/
|
|
unsigned long flags;
|
|
|
|
/* size of file, in bytes */
|
|
libssh2_uint64_t filesize;
|
|
|
|
/* numerical representation of the user and group owner of
|
|
* the file
|
|
*/
|
|
unsigned long uid, gid;
|
|
|
|
/* bitmask of permissions */
|
|
unsigned long permissions;
|
|
|
|
/* access time and modified time of file */
|
|
unsigned long atime, mtime;
|
|
};
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
You will find a full set of defines and macros to identify flags and
|
|
permissions on the \fBlibssh2_sftp.h\fP header file, but some of the
|
|
most common ones are:
|
|
|
|
To check for specific user permissions, the set of defines are in the
|
|
pattern LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_I<action><who> where <action> is R, W or X for
|
|
read, write and executable and <who> is USR, GRP and OTH for user,
|
|
group and other. So, you check for a user readable file, use the bit
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_SFTP_S_IRUSR\fP while you want to see if it is executable
|
|
for other, you use \fILIBSSH2_SFTP_S_IXOTH\fP and so on.
|
|
|
|
To check for specific file types, you would previously (before libssh2
|
|
1.2.5) use the standard posix S_IS***() macros, but since 1.2.5
|
|
libssh2 offers its own set of macros for this functionality:
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISLNK
|
|
Test for a symbolic link
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISREG
|
|
Test for a regular file
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISDIR
|
|
Test for a directory
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISCHR
|
|
Test for a character special file
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISBLK
|
|
Test for a block special file
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISFIFO
|
|
Test for a pipe or FIFO special file
|
|
.IP LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_ISSOCK
|
|
Test for a socket
|
|
.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.
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
This function has been around since forever, but most of the
|
|
LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_* defines were introduced in libssh2 0.14 and the
|
|
LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_IS***() macros were introduced in libssh2 1.2.5.
