bionic (3) libssh2_hostkey_hash.3.gz

Provided by: libssh2-1-dev_1.8.0-1ubuntu0.1_amd64 bug

NAME
       libssh2_hostkey_hash - return a hash of the remote host's key


SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       const char * libssh2_hostkey_hash(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, int hash_type);


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

       hash_type - One of: LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_MD5 or LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1.

       Returns  the  computed  digest  of  the  remote  system's  hostkey.  The length of the returned string is
       hash_type specific (e.g. 16 bytes for MD5, 20 bytes for SHA1).


RETURN VALUE
       Computed hostkey hash value, or NULL if the information is not available (either the session has not  yet
       been  started  up,  or  the  requested hash algorithm was not available). The hash consists of raw binary
       bytes, not hex digits, so it is not directly printable.
