NAME
       libssh2_agent_init - init an ssh-agent handle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       LIBSSH2_AGENT *libssh2_agent_init(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);

DESCRIPTION
       Init an ssh-agent handle. Returns the handle to an internal representa-
       tion of an ssh-agent connection.  After the successful  initialization,
       an  application  can call libssh2_agent_connect(3) to connect to a run-
       ning ssh-agent.

       Call libssh2_agent_free(3) to free the handle again after you're  doing
       using it.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns  a handle pointer or NULL if something went wrong. The returned
       handle is used as input to all other ssh-agent related  functions  lib-
       ssh2 provides.
