libssh2_sftp_get_channel(3)

✨ libssh2_sftp_get_channel(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is page 3 of the libssh2 manual, and it's literally the shortest lil glow-up you've ever seen. it's giving "one function, one job, zero drama" and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

libssh2_sftp_get_channel</purl> — return the channel of sftp 🦋

like. it gets you the channel. that's the whole personality. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *
libssh2_sftp_get_channel(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp);

two includes, one function, and the vibes are immaculate. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• sftp — the SFTP instance, as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3). that's your lil handle, your main character.

so what does this do? it returns the channel of the given sftp handle. that's it. that's the function. you hand it an sftp, it hands you back the channel that sftp is living inside of. 🫶

lowkey the most "i already told you everything in the NAME section" energy ever and i respect it fr fr.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

you get the channel of the SFTP instance. ✨

or... you get NULL if something was wrong. 😭 and bestie, NULL is not the vibe — check for it, always, every single time.

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

Added in 1.4.0. so if you're on anything older, this function is not in the group chat yet. sorry babe. 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• libssh2_sftp_init(3) — the one that gave you the sftp handle in the first place. the origin story. ⭐

🚨 reminder reminder: NULL means something was wrong. do not pass go, do not dereference it, do not collect $200. that's undefined behaviour territory and we do not play like that. 🙈

and that's the page, bestie!! written up way back on 9 Sep 2011 for libssh2 1.4.0 — ancient, but the girlies still use it, and honestly? it ate. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
