int libssh2_banner_set(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *banner);

DESCRIPTION

session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

banner - A pointer to a user defined banner

Set the banner that will be sent to the remote host when the SSH session is started with libssh2_session_startup(3)
