     libssh2_channel_open_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *channel_type,
			     unsigned int channel_type_len,
			     unsigned int window_size,
			     unsigned int packet_size,
			     const char *message, unsigned int message_len);

     LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *
     libssh2_channel_open_session(session);

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

     channel_type  -  Channel  type  to  open. Typically one of session, direct-

     window_size - Maximum amount of unacknowledged data remote host is  allowed
     to send before receiving an SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST packet.

     single SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA or SSG_MSG_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA packet.

     message - Additional data as required by the selected channel_type.

     message_len - Length of message parameter.

     Allocate a new channel for exchanging data with the server. This method  is
     typically	called	through  its  macroized  form: libssh2_channel_open_ses-
     sion(3)  or  via  libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip(3)	or  libssh2_channel_for-
     ward_listen(3)

RETURN VALUE
     Pointer to a newly allocated LIBSSH2_CHANNEL instance, or NULL on errors.

ERRORS

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_FAILURE -
