.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
 | 
						|
\fBlibssh2_session_init_ex(3)\fP
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIusername\fP - Pointer to user name to authenticate as.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIusername_len\fP - Length of \fIusername\fP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIpublickey\fP - Path name of the public key file.
 | 
						|
(e.g. /etc/ssh/hostkey.pub). If libssh2 is built against OpenSSL, this option
 | 
						|
can be set to NULL.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIprivatekey\fP - Path name of the private key file. (e.g. /etc/ssh/hostkey)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIpassphrase\fP - Passphrase to use when decoding \fIprivatekey\fP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Attempt public key authentication using either a public key file or a PEM
 | 
						|
encoded private key file stored on disk. When providing a private key, the
 | 
						|
public key is automatically extracted from it. When providing both, the
 | 
						|
passed public key takes precedence.
 | 
						|
.SH 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.
 | 
						|
.SH ERRORS
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_FILE\fP - An issue opening, reading or parsing the disk file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\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_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED\fP - The username/public key
 | 
						|
combination was invalid.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fILIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED\fP - Authentication using the supplied
 | 
						|
public key was not accepted.
