NAME
       libssh2_sftp_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       int libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *source_file-
       name, unsigned  int  source_filename_len,  const  char  *dest_filename,
       unsigned int dest_filename_len, long flags);

       int libssh2_sftp_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *source_file-
       name, const char *dest_filename);


DESCRIPTION
       sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

       sourcefile - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry

       sourcefile_len - Length of the path and name of the existing filesystem
       entry

       destfile - Path and name of the target filesystem entry

       destfile_len  -  Length  of  the path and name of the target filesystem
       entry

       flags - Bitmask flags made up of LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_* constants.

       Rename a filesystem object on the remote filesystem. The  semantics  of
       this  command typically include the ability to move a filesystem object
       between   folders   and/or   filesystem    mounts.    If    the    LIB-
       SSH2_SFTP_RENAME_OVERWRITE  flag  is  not  set  and  the destfile entry
       already exists, the operation will fail. Use of  the  other  two  flags
       indicate  a  preference  (but  not a requirement) for the remote end to
       perform an atomic rename operation and/or  using  native  system  calls
       when possible.


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_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid  SFTP  protocol  response  was
       received  on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
       returned by the server.
