|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
libssh2_session_supported_algs - get list of supported algorithms
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
#include <libssh2.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int libssh2_session_supported_algs(LIBSSH2_SESSION* session,
|
||
|
|
int method_type,
|
||
|
|
const char*** algs);
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fIsession\fP - An instance of initialized LIBSSH2_SESSION (the function will
|
||
|
|
use its pointer to the memory allocation function). \fImethod_type\fP -
|
||
|
|
Method type. See \fIlibssh2_session_method_pref(3)\fP. \fIalgs\fP - Address
|
||
|
|
of a pointer that will point to an array of returned algorithms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get a list of supported algorithms for the given \fImethod_type\fP. The
|
||
|
|
method_type parameter is equivalent to method_type in
|
||
|
|
\fIlibssh2_session_method_pref(3)\fP. If successful, the function will
|
||
|
|
allocate the appropriate amount of memory. When not needed anymore, it must be
|
||
|
|
deallocated by calling \fIlibssh2_free(3)\fP. When this function is
|
||
|
|
unsuccessful, this must not be done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to get a list of all supported compression algorithms,
|
||
|
|
libssh2_session_flag(session, LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS, 1) must be called before
|
||
|
|
calling this function, otherwise only "none" will be returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If successful, the function will allocate and fill the array with supported
|
||
|
|
algorithms (the same names as defined in RFC 4253). The array is not NULL
|
||
|
|
terminated.

|
if (rc>0) {
|
||
|
|
/* the call succeeded, do sth. with the list of algorithms
|
||
|
|
(e.g. list them)... */
|
||
|
|
printf("Supported symmetric algorithms:\\n");
|
||
|
|

|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/* ... and free the allocated memory when not needed anymore */
|
||
|
|

||
|

}

||

|

/* call failed, error handling */
|
||

|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
On success, a number of returned algorithms (i.e a positive number will be
|
||
|
|
returned). In case of a failure, an error code (a negative number, see below)
|
||
|
|
is returned. 0 should never be returned.
|
||
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
||
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_BAD_USE\fP - Invalid address of algs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP - Unknown method type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_INVAL\fP - Internal error (normally should not occur).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - Allocation of memory failed.
