A quick search through the RFCs and they mostly use "channels" though in a few spots "streams (channels)". There are no references to substreams, and "stream" seems to be used generically. It'd take me a long time to read through everything. In my head already, a session has multiple channels and a channel has multiple streams. But it seems that more properly a channel is a stream, and stdout/stderr/the other "extended data streams" are actually "substreams" to libssh2, though it uses "stream_id" as a parameter for both read and write. So really, libssh2 is effectively referring to both channels and stdout/err/etc as streams, and stdout/err/etc as both streams and substreams. Whatever terms are chosen, using them consistently _everywhere_ would be nice. -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
