NAME
libssh2_session_method_pref - set preferred key exchange method
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_session_method_pref(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, int method_type, const char *prefs);
DESCRIPTION
session - Session instance as returned by
libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
method_type - One of the Method Type constants.
prefs - Coma delimited list of preferred methods to use with
the most preferred listed first and the least preferred listed last.
If a method is listed which is not supported by libssh2 it will be
ignored and not sent to the remote host during protocol negotiation.
Set preferred methods to be negotiated. These
preferrences must be set prior to calling
libssh2_session_startup(3)
as they are used during the protocol initiation phase.
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.
ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_INVAL - The requested method type was invalid.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_METHOD_NOT_SUPPORTED - The requested method is not supported.
