NAME

       libssh2_sftp_open_ex - open filehandle for file on SFTP.


SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>
       #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *
       libssh2_sftp_open_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *filename,
                            unsigned int filename_len,
                            unsigned long flags,
                            long mode,
                            int open_type);


DESCRIPTION

       sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

       filename - Remote file/directory resource to open

       filename_len - Length of filename

       flags - Any reasonable combination of the LIBSSH2_FXF_* constants:

              LIBSSH2_FXF_READ
                     Open the file for reading.

              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.

              LIBSSH2_FXF_APPEND
                     Force all writes to append data at the end of the file.

              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)

              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.

              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.

       mode - POSIX file permissions to assign if the file is being newly
       created. See the LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_* convenience defines in
       <libssh2_sftp.h>

       open_type - Either of LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENFILE (to open a file) or
       LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENDIR (to open a directory).


RETURN VALUE

       A pointer to the newly created LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE instance or NULL on
       failure.


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.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN - Marked for non-blocking I/O but the call would
       block.
