libssh2_session_block_directions(3)                                    libssh2

NAME
       libssh2_session_block_directions - get directions to wait for

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       int
       libssh2_session_block_directions(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);

DESCRIPTION
       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

       When any of libssh2 functions return LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN an
       application should wait for the socket to have data available for
       reading or writing. Depending on the return value of
       libssh2_session_block_directions(3) an application should wait for
       read, write or both.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the set of directions as a binary mask. Can be a combination
       of:

       LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND: Inbound direction blocked.

       LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND: Outbound direction blocked.

       Application should wait for data to be available for socket prior to
       calling a libssh2 function again. If LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND is
       set select should contain the session socket in readfds set.
       Correspondingly in case of LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND writefds set
       should contain the socket.
