.SH NAME
libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex - read or set a symbolic link
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>
int
libssh2_sftp_symlink_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path,
unsigned int path_len, char *target,
unsigned int target_len, int link_type);
int
libssh2_sftp_realpath(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path, char *target,
unsigned int target_len);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Create a symlink or read out symlink information from the remote side.
\fIsftp\fP - SFTP instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_sftp_init(3)
\fIpath\fP - Remote filesystem object to create a symlink from or resolve.
\fIpath_len\fP - Length of the name of the remote filesystem object to
create a symlink from or resolve.
\fItarget\fP - a pointer to a buffer. The buffer has different uses depending
what the \fIlink_type\fP argument is set to.
.br
\fBLIBSSH2_SFTP_SYMLINK\fP: Remote filesystem object to link to.
.br
\fBLIBSSH2_SFTP_READLINK\fP: Pre-allocated buffer to resolve symlink target
into.
.br
\fBLIBSSH2_SFTP_REALPATH\fP: Pre-allocated buffer to resolve realpath target
into.
\fItarget_len\fP - Length of the name of the remote filesystem target object.
\fIlink_type\fP - One of the three previously mentioned constants which
determines the resulting behavior of this function.
These are convenience macros:
.BR libssh2_sftp_symlink(3)
: Create a symbolic link between two filesystem objects.
.br
.BR libssh2_sftp_readlink(3)
: Resolve a symbolic link filesystem object to its next target.
.br
.BR libssh2_sftp_realpath(3)
: Resolve a complex, relative, or symlinked filepath to its effective target.
.SH RETURN VALUE
When using LIBSSH2_SFTP_SYMLINK, this funtion returns 0 on success or negative
on failure.
When using LIBSSH2_SFTP_READLINK or LIBSSH2_SFTP_REALPATH, it returns the
number of bytes it copied to the target buffer (not including the terminating
zero) or negative on failure.
It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se.
.SH ERRORS
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC\fP - An internal memory allocation call failed.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND\fP - Unable to send data on socket.
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT\fP -
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL\fP - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to
be returned by the server.
