💖 libssh2_channel_forward_accept — accept a queued connection 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libssh2 manual, this one's about libssh2_channel_forward_accept and it's literally the moment your listener finally gets a caller 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

libssh2_channel_forward_accept — accept a queued connection 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libssh2.h>

LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *
libssh2_channel_forward_accept(LIBSSH2_LISTENER *listener);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so listener is that forwarding listener instance you already got back from libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(3) — yes, that one, the one you set up earlier and have just been sitting there waiting on like a group chat with no notifications 🔔

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

you get a newly allocated channel instance back, or NULL if it flopped 😭

💅 ERRORS 💅

when this function hands you NULL, do not panic — go call libssh2_session_last_errno(3) to pull out the actual error code, she'll tell you what went down 🔍

and if that code comes back as LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN? that means the session is set to do non-blocking I/O, but the call would block. so like… it's giving "not right now, try again later" energy, not a real failure 💀
