#include <libssh2.h>

LIBSSH2_CHANNEL * libssh2_channel_open_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, const char *channel_type, unsigned int channel_type_len, unsigned int window_size, unsigned int packet_size, const char *message, unsigned int message_len);

LIBSSH2_CHANNEL * libssh2_channel_open_session(session);

session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

channel_type - Channel type to open. Typically one of session, direct-tcpip, or tcpip-forward. The SSH2 protocol allowed for additional types including local, custom channel types.

channel_type_len - Length of channel_type

window_size - Maximum amount of unacknowledged data remote host is allowed to send before receiving an SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST packet.

packet_size - Maximum number of bytes remote host is allowed to send in a single SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA or SSG_MSG_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA packet.

message - Additional data as required by the selected channel_type.

message_len - Length of message parameter.

Allocate a new channel for exchanging data with the server. This method is typically called through its macroized form: libssh2_channel_open_session(3) or via libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip(3) or libssh2_channel_forward_listen(3)
