.SH NAME
|
|
libssh2_channel_read_ex - read data from a channel stream
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <libssh2.h>
|
|
|
|
ssize_t
|
|
libssh2_channel_read_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int stream_id, char *buf, size_t buflen);
|
|
|
|
ssize_t
|
|
libssh2_channel_read(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen);
|
|
|
|
ssize_t
|
|
libssh2_channel_read_stderr(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen);
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Attempt to read data from an active channel stream. All channel streams have
|
|
one standard I/O substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up to 2^32 extended
|
|
data streams as identified by the selected \fIstream_id\fP. The SSH2 protocol
|
|
currently defines a stream ID of 1 to be the stderr substream.
|
|
|
|
\fIchannel\fP - active channel stream to read from.
|
|
|
|
\fIstream_id\fP - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)
|
|
|
|
\fIbuf\fP - pointer to storage buffer to read data into
|
|
|
|
\fIbuflen\fP - size of the buf storage
|
|
|
|
\fIlibssh2_channel_read(3)\fP and \fIlibssh2_channel_read_stderr(3)\fP are
|
|
macros.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Actual number of bytes read 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_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
|
|
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED\fP - The channel has been closed.
