NAME
     libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive_ex  -  authenticate	a  session using
     keyboard-interactive authentication

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libssh2.h>

     int
     libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
					      const char *username,
					      unsigned int username_len,
			LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_KBDINT_RESPONSE_FUNC(*response_callback));

DESCRIPTION
     session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3).

     username - Name of user to attempt keyboard-interactive authentication for.

     username_len - Length of username parameter.

     response_callback - As authentication proceeds, the host issues several  (1
     or more) challenges and requires responses. This callback will be called at
     this  moment. The callback is responsible to obtain responses for the chal-
     lenges, fill the provided data structure and then return control. Responses
     will be sent to the host. String values will be free(3)ed by  the	library.
     The callback prototype must match this:

     void response(const char *name,
		   int name_len, const char *instruction,
		   int instruction_len,
		   int num_prompts,
		   const LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_KBDINT_PROMPT *prompts,
		   LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_KBDINT_RESPONSE *responses,
		   void **abstract);

     Attempts keyboard-interactive (challenge/response) authentication.

     Note that many SSH servers will always issue a single "password" challenge,
     requesting  actual password as response, but it is not required by the pro-
     tocol, and various authentication schemes, such as smartcard authentication
     may use keyboard-interactive authentication type too.

RETURN VALUE
     Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN
     when it would otherwise block. While  LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN  is  a	negative
     number, it is not really a failure per se.

ERRORS
     LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED  - failed, invalid username/password or
     public/private key.
