libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex(3)      libssh2	 libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex(3)

NAME
     libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file using POSIX semantics

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

     int
     libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp,
				  const char *source_filename,
				  size_t source_filename_len,
				  const char *dest_filename,
				  size_t dest_filename_len);

DESCRIPTION
     sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

     sourcefile - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry

     sourcefile_len - Length of the path and name of the existing filesystem en-
     try

     destfile - Path and name of the target filesystem entry

     destfile_len - Length of the path and name of the target filesystem entry

     This  function  implements the posix-rename@openssh.com extension, which is
     useful when, for example, moving  files  across  filesystems  on  a  remote
     server.   SSH_FXP_RENAME  does  not  specify a specific implementation, but
     many servers will attempt to  user  hard  links  when  moving  files  using
     SSH_FXP_RENAME.

     If the server does not support posix-rename@openssh.com, this function will
     return  LIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED	and  you can call libssh2_sftp_rename_ex
     (3) as a backup.

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_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED	  -    Server	does   not   support   posix-re-
     name@openssh.com

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

     LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP  protocol  response	was  re-
     ceived  on  the  socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be re-
     turned by the server.
