\fIflags\fP - Any reasonable combination of the LIBSSH2_FXF_* constants:
|
.RS
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_READ
|
Open the file for reading.
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_WRITE
|
Open the file for writing. If both this and LIBSSH2_FXF_READ are specified,

the file is opened for both reading and writing.
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_APPEND
|
Force all writes to append data at the end of the file.
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT,
|
If this flag is specified, then a new file will be created if one does not
|
already exist (if LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC is specified, the new file will be
|
truncated to zero length if it previously exists)
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC
|
Forces an existing file with the same name to be truncated to zero length when
|
creating a file by specifying LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT. LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also
|
be specified if this flag is used.
|
.IP LIBSSH2_FXF_EXCL
|
Causes the request to fail if the named file already exists.
|
LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.
|
|
.RE
|
\fImode\fP - POSIX file permissions to assign if the file is being newly
|
created. See the LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_* convenience defines in <libssh2_sftp.h>
|
|
\fIopen_type\fP - Either of LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENFILE (to open a file) or
|
LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENDIR (to open a directory).
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
A pointer to the newly created LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE instance or NULL on
|
failure.
|
.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_SOCKET_TIMEOUT\fP -
|
|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL\fP - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
|
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
|
returned by the server.
|
|

|
block.
