💖 libssh2_knownhost_writefile(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the libssh2 manual, and it's called libssh2_knownhost_writefile ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libssh2_knownhost_writefile — write a whole collection of known hosts out to a file, periodt 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_knownhost_writefile(LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOSTS *hosts,
                            const char *filename, int type);

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So like, the whole vibe of this function? It writes all the known hosts to the file you point it at, using whatever file format you asked for. That's it, that's the job 🫶

• filename — literally specifies what filename to create 🎀
• type — tells it what file type it is, and ngl there's only one format supported rn: LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_FILE_OPENSSH. That's the only one. The only one. Don't come at me with others 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It returns a regular libssh2 error code, where negative values are error codes and 0 means success 💖 so like, zero is the slay outcome, negative is the "girl what happened" outcome.

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

Added in libssh2 1.2 — vintage, but make it iconic ✨
