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_filename, 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_filename, 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 filsystem object
between folders and/or filesystem mounts. If the
LIBSSH2_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
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_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.
