Viktor Szakats a3ffc4221d man: fix double spaces and dash escaping
- `-  ` -> `- `
- `.  ` -> `. `
- `\- ` -> `- `
- `-1` -> `\-1`
- fold long lines along the way

This makes the minus sign come out as a Unicode minus sign
(0x2212), and title separator dashes as Unicode hyphen (0x2010),
with `groff -Tutf8` v1.23.0.

.SH NAME
libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory - authenticate a session with a public key, read from memory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#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 *privatekeydata,
size_t privatekeydata_len,
const char *passphrase);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function allows to authenticate a session with a public key read from memory.
It is only supported when libssh2 is backed by OpenSSL.
\fIsession\fP - Session instance as returned by
.BR libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
\fIusername\fP - Remote user name to authenticate as.
\fIusername_len\fP - Length of username.
\fIpublickeydata\fP - Buffer containing the contents of a public key file.
\fIpublickeydata_len\fP - Length of public key data.
\fIprivatekeydata\fP - Buffer containing the contents of a private key file.
\fIprivatekeydata_len\fP - Length of private key data.
\fIpassphrase\fP - Passphrase to use when decoding private key file.
Attempt public key authentication using a PEM encoded private key file stored in memory.
.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_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.
.SH AVAILABILITY
libssh2_userauth_publickey_frommemory was added in libssh2 1.6.0
