libssh2_sftp_write(3)

NAME
libssh2_sftp_write - write SFTP data

SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h> ssize_t libssh2_sftp_write(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle, const char *buffer, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION
handle - SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3) buffer - Pre-initialized data buffer to write to the LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE. count - Number of bytes from buffer to write. Note that it may not be possible to write all bytes as requested. Write a block of data to a LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE. This method is modeled after the POSIX write() function and uses the same calling semantics.

RETURN VALUE
Actual number of bytes written 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.

ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed. LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket. LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT - LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be returned by the server.
