libssh2_channel_exec(3)

✨ libssh2_channel_exec — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the libssh2_channel_exec(3) page from the libssh2 manual, and honestly? it's a short one. a lil snack. a tiny king. but we're gonna give it the full main-character treatment anyway 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

libssh2_channel_exec — it's a convenience macro for libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) calls 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_channel_exec(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, const char *command);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen. this is not a real function, bestie — it's a macro, and it lives in a public libssh2 header file. that's the whole vibe. it's a little shortcut wrapper that's out here using the underlying function libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) to do the actual heavy lifting. the macro is giving "I'll make the call for you, you just sit there and look pretty" ✨

no cap, that's literally it. it's a convenience macro. it exists so you don't have to type the whole startup situation yourself. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

see libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) — the receipts live over there, not here 🙈

💀 ERRORS 💀

see libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) — same deal, all the error lore is on that page 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) — the actual function doing all the work behind the scenes, the real MVP 💜

lowkey important reminder: this page does not define the return values or the errors itself, it just points you at libssh2_channel_process_startup(3) for both. so if you're out here debugging and confused, that's where you're going. periodt 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this one's from libssh2 1.2.4, dated 20 Feb 2010 — a true vintage queen, still slaying in the manual to this day. mwah 💋✨
