libssh2_hostkey_hash (3ssh2)

Name

libssh2_hostkey_hash - return a hash of the remote host's key

Synopsis

#include <libssh2.h>

const   char   *   libssh2_hostkey_hash(LIBSSH2_SESSION  *session,  int
hash_type);

Description

libssh2 manual                                     libssh2_hostkey_hash(3ssh2)



NAME
       libssh2_hostkey_hash - return a hash of the remote host's key

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>

       const   char   *   libssh2_hostkey_hash(LIBSSH2_SESSION  *session,  int
       hash_type);


DESCRIPTION
       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

       hash_type - One of: LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_MD5, LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1
       or LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA256.

       Returns  the computed digest of the remote system's hostkey. The length
       of the returned string is hash_type specific (e.g. 16 bytes for MD5, 20
       bytes for SHA1, 32 bytes for SHA256).

RETURN VALUE
       Computed  hostkey  hash value, or NULL if the information is not avail-
       able (either the session has not yet been started up, or the  requested
       hash  algorithm  was  not  available).  The hash consists of raw binary
       bytes, not hex digits, so it is not directly printable.
