.SH NAME

libssh2_sftp_readdir_ex - read directory data from an SFTP handle
 |

.SH SYNOPSIS

						|
                        char *buffer, size_t buffer_maxlen,
 | 
						|
                        char *longentry, size_t longentry_maxlen,

.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
Reads a block of data from a LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE and returns file entry
 | 
						|
information for the next entry, if any.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIhandle\fP - is the SFTP File Handle as returned by
 | 
						|
.BR libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIbuffer\fP - is a pointer to a pre-allocated buffer of at least
 | 
						|
\fIbuffer_maxlen\fP bytes to read data into.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIbuffer_maxlen\fP - is the length of buffer in bytes. If the length of the
 | 
						|
filename is longer than the space provided by buffer_maxlen it will be
 | 
						|
truncated to fit.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIlongentry\fP - is a pointer to a pre-allocated buffer of at least
 | 
						|
\fIlongentry_maxlen\fP bytes to read data into. The format of the `longname'
 | 
						|
field is unspecified by SFTP protocol. It MUST be suitable for use in the
 | 
						|
output of a directory listing command (in fact, the recommended operation for
 | 
						|
a directory listing command is to display this data).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIlongentry_maxlen\fP - is the length of longentry in bytes. If the length of
 | 
						|
the full directory entry is longer than the space provided by
 | 
						|
\fIlongentry_maxlen\fP it will be truncated to fit.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fIattrs\fP - is a pointer to LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES storage to populate
 | 
						|
statbuf style data into.
 | 
						|
.SH RETURN VALUE
 | 
						|
Number of bytes actually populated into buffer (not counting 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 is not
 | 
						|
really a failure per se.
 | 
						|
.SH BUG
 | 
						|
Passing in a too small buffer for 'buffer' or 'longentry' when receiving data
 | 
						|
only results in libssh2 1.2.7 or earlier to not copy the entire data amount,
 | 
						|
and it is not possible for the application to tell when it happens!
 | 
						|
.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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From 1.2.8, LIBSSH2_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned if any of the
 | 
						|
given 'buffer' or 'longentry' buffers are too small to fit the requested
 | 
						|
object name.
