# NAME
libssh2_agent_init - init an ssh-agent handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
LIBSSH2_AGENT *libssh2_agent_init(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);

# DESCRIPTION
Init an ssh-agent handle. Returns the handle to an internal
representation of an ssh-agent connection. After the successful
initialization, an application can call **libssh2_agent_connect(3)**
to connect to a running ssh-agent.
Call **libssh2_agent_free(3)** to free the handle again after you are
doing using it.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns a handle pointer or NULL if something went wrong. The returned handle
is used as input to all other ssh-agent related functions libssh2 provides.
# AVAILABILITY
