| .SH NAME |
| libssh2_channel_write_ex - write data to a channel stream blocking |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| #include <libssh2.h> |
| |
| ssize_t |
| libssh2_channel_write_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int stream_id, char *buf, size_t buflen); |
| |
| ssize_t |
| libssh2_channel_write(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen); |
| |
| ssize_t |
| libssh2_channel_write_stderr(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, char *buf, size_t buflen); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Write data to a 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 write to. |
| |
| \fIstream_id\fP - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR) |
| |
| \fIbuf\fP - pointer to buffer to write |
| |
| \fIbuflen\fP - size of the data to write |
| |
| \fIlibssh2_channel_write(3)\fP and \fIlibssh2_channel_write_stderr(3)\fP are |
| macros. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Actual number of bytes written or negative on failure. |
| 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_CHANNEL_CLOSED\fP - The channel has been closed. |
| |
| \fILIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_EOF_SENT\fP - The channel has been requested to be closed. |
