Until someone uses a * somewhere in the data.

| <- pipe character -- a better user created data delimiter because people don't know/seldom use it.

It's sort of a defacto unix delimiter for this kind of thing. More of a workaround to bypass the standard idiot user, you might say.

libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data

libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data(3) 			  libssh2 manual			   libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data(3)

NAME

       libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data - set extended data handling mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       void libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int ignore_mode);

DESCRIPTION

       This function is deprecated. Use the libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data2(3) function instead!

       channel - Active channel stream to change extended data handling on.

       ignore_mode - One of the three LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_* Constants.
       LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_NORMAL: Queue extended data for eventual reading
       LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_MERGE:  Treat extended data and ordinary data the same. Merge all substreams such that calls to libssh2_chan-
       nel_read(3) will pull from all substreams on a first-in/first-out basis.
       LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_IGNORE: Discard all extended data as it arrives.

       Change how a channel deals with extended data packets. By default all extended data is queued until read by libssh2_channel_read_ex(3)

RETURN VALUE

       None.
