SYNOPSIS

       #include <libssh2.h>

       int libssh2_channel_process_startup(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
					   const char *request,
					   unsigned int request_len,
					   const char *message,
					   unsigned int message_len);

DESCRIPTION

       request - Type of process to startup. The SSH2 protocol currently defines shell, exec, and subsystem as standard process services.

       request_len - Length of request parameter.

       message - Request specific message data to include.

       message_len - Length of message parameter.

       Initiate a request on a session type channel such as returned by libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)

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 isn't really a failure per se.
