NAME
libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex - read or set a symbolic link
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>
int libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, unsigned int path_len, char *target, unsigned int target_len, int link_type);
int libssh2_sftp_symlink(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, char *target);
int libssh2_sftp_readlink(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, char *target, unsigned int target_len);
int libssh2_sftp_realpath(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, char *target, unsigned int target_len);
DESCRIPTION
sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)
path - Remote filesystem object to create a symlink from or resolve.
path_len - Length of the name of the remote filesystem object to create a symlink from or resolve.
target - LIBSSH2_SFTP_SYMLINK: Remote filesystem object to link to. LIBSSH2_SFTP_READLINK: Pre-allocated buffer to resolve symlink target into. LIBSSH2_SFTP_REALPATH: Pre-allocated buffer to resolve realpath target into.
target_len - Length of the name of the remote filesystem target object.
link_type - One of the three previously mentioned constants which determines the resulting behavior of this function.
libssh2_sftp_symlink(3) : Create a symbolic link between two filesystem objects. libssh2_sftp_readlink(3) : Resolve a symbolic link filesystem object to its next target. libssh2_sftp_realpath(3) : Resolve a complex, relative, or symlinked filepath to its effective target.
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.
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.
