SYNOPSIS

11       ssize_t     libssh2_channel_read_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL    *channel,    int
12       stream_id, char *buf, size_t buflen);
13
14       ssize_t  libssh2_channel_read(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL  *channel,   char   *buf,
15       size_t buflen);

DESCRIPTION

22       Attempt to read data from an active channel stream. All channel streams
23       have  one  standard  I/O substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up to
24       2^32 extended data streams as identified by the selected stream_id. The
25       SSH2  protocol currently defines a stream ID of 1 to be the stderr sub‐
26       stream.
27
28       channel - active channel stream to read from.
29
30       stream_id - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)
31
32       buf - pointer to storage buffer to read data into
33
34       buflen - size of the buf storage
35
36       libssh2_channel_read(3) and libssh2_channel_read_stderr(3) are macros.

RETURN VALUE

39       Actual number of bytes read or negative on  failure.  It  returns  LIB‐
40       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN   when   it   would   otherwise   block.  While  LIB‐
41       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a  failure  per
42       se.
43

ERRORS

45       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
46
47       LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED - The channel has been closed.
