NAME

libssh2_channel_free - free all resources associated with a channel  

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>

int libssh2_channel_free(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel);

 

DESCRIPTION

channel - Channel stream to free.

Release all resources associated with a channel stream. If the channel has not yet been closed with libssh2_channel_close(3) , it will be called automatically so that the remote end may know that it can safely free its own resources.

 

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 isn't really a failure per se.
