Synopsis

#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int single_connection,
                           const char *auth_proto, const char *auth_cookie,
                           int screen_number);

int
libssh2_channel_x11_req(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
                        int screen_number);

Description

channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)

single_connection - non-zero to only forward a single connection.

auth_proto - X11 authentication protocol to use

auth_cookie - the cookie (hexadecimal encoded).

screen_number - the XLL screen to forward

Request an X11 forwarding on channel. To use X11 forwarding, libssh2_session_callback_set2(3) must first be called to set LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_X11. This callback will be invoked when the remote host accepts the X11 forwarding.

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 is not really a failure per se.

Errors

LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_REQUEST_DENIED -
