I am about to add support in libcurl for agent based authentication,
I am missing some information. Is there a list of libssh2_agent_ API
which might return EAGAIN, or might they all return EAGAIN?
The man pages do not say?
for nearly every function, it is just "Returns 0 if succeeded, or a negative
value for error"
I considered that all but _init and _free could return EAGAIN, it was not
too hard to implement that way. From the code in agent.c I realize some are
always instant and some are indeed blocking, but at least my code will be OK
if it changes.
Once libssh2_agent_userauth succeeded or failed on the last
identity, can I immediately get rid of it with
libssh2_agent_disconnect/free sequence? or do I need to wait for
the end of the channel as in the sample.
If you do not want to forward the agent connection then you should be
able to close it.
uh, I must admit I just don't know what is forwarding an agent connection,
so I believe I can close it :-)
