NAME
       libssh2_session_init_ex - initializes an SSH session object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       LIBSSH2_SESSION   *  libssh2_session_init_ex(LIBSSH2_ALLOC_FUNC((*myal-
       loc)),   LIBSSH2_FREE_FUNC((*myfree)),   LIBSSH2_REALLOC_FUNC((*myreal-
       loc)), void *abstract);

       LIBSSH2_SESSION * libssh2_session_init(void);


DESCRIPTION
       myalloc  - Custom allocator function. Refer to the section on Callbacks
       for implementing an allocator callback. Pass a value of NULL to use the
       default system allocator.

       myfree  -  Custom  de-allocator function. Refer to the section on Call-
       backs for implementing a deallocator callback. Pass a value of NULL  to
       use the default system deallocator.

       myrealloc - Custom re-allocator function. Refer to the section on Call-
       backs for implementing a reallocator callback. Pass a value of NULL  to
       use the default system reallocator.

       abstract  -  Arbitrary  pointer  to application specific callback data.
       This value will be passed to any callback function associated with  the
       named session instance.

       Initializes  an SSH session object. By default system memory allocators
       (malloc(), free(), realloc()) will be used for  any  dynamically  allo-
       cated memory blocks. Alternate memory allocation functions may be spec-
       ified using the extended version of  this  API  call,  and/or  optional
       application specific data may be attached to the session object.

       This  method must be called first, prior to configuring session options
       or starting up an SSH session with a remote server.

RETURN VALUE
       Pointer to a newly  allocated  LIBSSH2_SESSION  instance,  or  NULL  on
       errors.
