NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION - callback for known host matching logic SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> enum curl_khstat { CURLKHSTAT_FINE_ADD_TO_FILE, CURLKHSTAT_FINE, CURLKHSTAT_REJECT, /* reject the connection, return an error */ CURLKHSTAT_DEFER, /* do not accept it, but we can't answer right now so this causes a CURLE_DEFER error but otherwise the connection will be left intact etc */ }; enum curl_khmatch { CURLKHMATCH_OK, /* match */ CURLKHMATCH_MISMATCH, /* host found, key mismatch! */ CURLKHMATCH_MISSING, /* no matching host/key found */ }; struct curl_khkey { const char *key; /* points to a zero-terminated string encoded with base64 if len is zero, otherwise to the "raw" data */ size_t len; enum curl_khtype keytype; }; int ssh_keycallback(CURL *easy, const struct curl_khkey *knownkey, const struct curl_khkey *foundkey, enum curl_khmatch, void *clientp); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, ssh_keycallback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. It gets called when the known_host matching has been done, to allow the application to act and decide for libcurl how to proceed. The call- back will only be called if CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS(3) is also set. This callback function gets passed the CURL handle, the key from the known_hosts file knownkey, the key from the remote site foundkey, info from libcurl on the matching status and a custom pointer (set with CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA(3)). It MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how to act: CURLKHSTAT_FINE_ADD_TO_FILE The host+key is accepted and libcurl will append it to the known_hosts file before continuing with the connection. This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there. The adding of data to the file is done by completely replacing the file with a new copy, so the permissions of the file must allow this. CURLKHSTAT_FINE The host+key is accepted libcurl will continue with the connection. This will also add the host+key combo to the known_host pool kept in memory if it wasn't already present there. CURLKHSTAT_REJECT The host+key is rejected. libcurl will deny the connection to continue and it will be closed. CURLKHSTAT_DEFER The host+key is rejected, but the SSH connection is asked to be kept alive. This feature could be used when the app wants to some- how return back and act on the host+key situation and then retry without needing the overhead of setting it up from scratch again. DEFAULT

NAME
curl_easy_cleanup - End a libcurl easy handle SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> void curl_easy_cleanup(CURL *handle); DESCRIPTION
This function must be the last function to call for an easy session. It is the opposite of the curl_easy_init(3) function and must be called with the same handle as input that a curl_easy_init(3) call returned. This might close all connections this handle has used and possibly has kept open until now - unless it was attached to a multi handle while doing the transfers. Don't call this function if you intend to transfer more files, re-using handles is a key to good performance with libcurl. Occasionally you may get your progress callback or header callback called from within curl_easy_cleanup(3) (if previously set for the han- dle using curl_easy_setopt(3)). Like if libcurl decides to shut down the connection and the protocol is of a kind that requires a com- mand/response sequence before disconnect. Examples of such protocols are FTP, POP3 and IMAP. Any use of the handle after this function has been called and have returned, is illegal. curl_easy_cleanup(3) kills the handle and all mem- ory associated with it! For libcurl versions before 7.17,: after you've called this function, you can safely remove all the strings you've previously told libcurl to use, as it won't use them anymore now. RETURN VALUE
None EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } SEE ALSO
