# NAME
libssh2_knownhost_writeline - convert a known host to a line for storage
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
int libssh2_knownhost_writeline(LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOSTS *hosts,
struct libssh2_knownhost *known,
char *buffer, size_t buflen,
size_t *outlen,
int type);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Converts a single known host to a single line of output for storage, using
the 'type' output format.
*known* identifies which particular known host
*buffer* points to an allocated buffer
*buflen* is the size of the *buffer*. See RETURN VALUE about the size.
*outlen* must be a pointer to a size_t variable that gets the output
length of the stored data chunk. The number does not include
the null-terminator!
*type* specifies what file type it is, and
*LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_FILE_OPENSSH* is the only currently supported
format.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns a regular libssh2 error code, where negative values are error codes
and 0 indicates success.
If the provided buffer is deemed too small to fit the data libssh2 wants to
store in it, LIBSSH2_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned. The application
is then advised to call the function again with a larger buffer. The
*outlen* size then holds the requested size.
# AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.2
