Viktor Szakats 6a951168ce src: rename file/blob key import/parse functions for consistency

To have the same root name and same length, to match terms used
elsewhere in the code. To make it easy to identify them in pairs and by
suffix.

Also: move passphrase arg _after_ key source, where missing.

Closes #2362

NAME

libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory - authenticate a session with a public key, read from memory

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>

int libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
                                          const char *username,
                                          size_t username_len,
                                          const char *publickeydata,
                                          size_t publickeydata_len,
                                          const char *privkeyblob,
                                          size_t privkeyblob_len,
                                          const char *passphrase);

DESCRIPTION

session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

username - Remote username to authenticate as.

username_len - Length of username.

publickeydata - Buffer containing the contents of a public key file.

publickeydata_len - Length of public key data.

privkeyblob - Buffer containing the contents of a private key file.

privkeyblob_len - Length of private key data.

passphrase - Passphrase to use when decoding private key file.

Attempt public key authentication using either a public key file or a PEM encoded private key file stored in memory. When providing a private key, the public key is automatically extracted from it. When providing both, the passed public key takes precedence.

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_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

LIBSSH2_ERROR_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED - The username/public key combination was invalid.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED - Authentication using the supplied public key was not accepted.

AVAILABILITY

libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory was added in libssh2 1.6.0 Supported with OpenSSL, WinCNG, mbedTLS, OS/400 crypto backends.
