NAME
     libssh2_channel_read_ex - read data from a channel stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libssh2.h>

     ssize_t
     libssh2_channel_read_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int stream_id,
			     char *buf, size_t buflen);

     ssize_t
     libssh2_channel_read(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
			  char *buf, size_t buflen);

     ssize_t
     libssh2_channel_read_stderr(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
				 char *buf, size_t buflen);

DESCRIPTION
     Attempt  to  read	data  from an active channel stream. All channel streams
     have one standard I/O substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up	to  2^32
     extended  data  streams  as  identified by the selected stream_id. The SSH2
     protocol currently defines a stream ID of 1 to be the stderr substream.

     channel - active channel stream to read from.

     stream_id - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)

     buf - pointer to storage buffer to read data into

     buflen - size of the buf storage

     libssh2_channel_read(3) and libssh2_channel_read_stderr(3) are macros.

RETURN VALUE
     Actual number of bytes read or negative on failure. It returns  LIBSSH2_ER-
     ROR_EAGAIN  when  it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a
     negative number, it is not really a failure per se.

     Note that a return value of zero (0) can in fact be a legitimate value  and
     only signals that no payload data was read. It is not an error.

ERRORS
     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED - The channel has been closed.

SEE ALSO
