NAME
       libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex - request an X11 forwarding channel

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       int   libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL   *channel,  int  sin-
       gle_connection, const char *auth_proto, const  char  *auth_cookie,  int
       screen_number);

       int  libssh2_channel_x11_req(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL  *channel, int screen_num-
       ber);


DESCRIPTION
       channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned  by  lib-
       ssh2_channel_open_ex(3)

       single_connection - non-zero to only forward a single connection.

       auth_proto - X11 authentication protocol to use

       auth_cookie - the cookie (hexadecimal encoded).

       screen_number - the XLL screen to forward

       Request  an  X11  forwarding  on  channel.  To use X11 forwarding, lib-
       ssh2_session_callback_set(3) must first be called to set  LIBSSH2_CALL-
       BACK_X11.  This  callback  will be invoked when the remote host accepts
       the X11 forwarding.


RETURN VALUE
       Return  0  on  success  or  negative  on  failure.   It  returns   LIB-
       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN   when   it   would   otherwise   block.  While  LIB-
       SSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a  failure  per
       se.


ERRORS
       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC -  An internal memory allocation call failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_REQUEST_DENIED -
