NAME
       Net::SSH2 - Support for the SSH 2 protocol via libssh2.

SYNOPSIS
         use Net::SSH2;

         my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();

         $ssh2->connect('example.com') or die $!;

         if ($ssh2->auth_keyboard('fizban')) {
             my $chan = $ssh2->channel();
             $chan->exec('program');

             my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp();
             my $fh = $sftp->open('/etc/passwd') or die;
             print $_ while <$fh>;
         }

DESCRIPTION
       "Net::SSH2" is a perl interface to the libssh2 (<http://www.libssh2.org>) library.  It
       supports the SSH2 protocol (there is no support for SSH1) with all of the key exchanges,
       ciphers, and compression of libssh2.

       Unless otherwise indicated, methods return a true value on success and false on failure;
       use the error method to get extended error information.

       The typical order is to create the SSH2 object, set up the connection methods you want to
       use, call connect, authenticate with one of the "auth" methods, then create channels on
       the connection to perform commands.

EXPORTS
       Exports the following constant tags:

       all All constants.

       ssh constants:

       callback
       channel
       error
       socket
       trace
           Tracing constants for use with "->trace" and "->new(trace => ...)".

       hash
           Key hash constants.

       method
       disconnect
           Disconnect type constants.

       SFTP constants:

       fx
       fxf
       sftp

METHODS
   new
       Create new SSH2 object.

       To turn on tracing with a debug build of libssh2 use:

           my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new(trace => -1);

   banner ( text )
       Set the SSH2 banner text sent to the remote host (prepends required "SSH-2.0-").

   version
       In scalar context, returns libssh2 version/patch e.g. 0.18 or "0.18.0-20071110".  In list
       context, returns that version plus the numeric version (major, minor, and patch, each
       encoded as 8 bits, e.g. 0x001200 for version 0.18) and the default banner text (e.g.
       "SSH-2.0-libssh2_0.18.0-20071110").

   error
       Returns the last error code; returns false if no error.  In list context, returns (code,
       error name, error string).

   sock
       Returns a reference to the underlying IO::Socket::INET object, or "undef" if not yet
       connected.

   trace
       Calls libssh2_trace with supplied bitmask, to enable all tracing use:

           $ssh2->trace(-1);

       You need a debug build of libssh2 with tracing support.

   timeout ( timeout_ms )
       Enables a global timeout (in milliseconds) which will affect every action.

       libssh2 version 1.2.9 or higher is required to use this method.

   method ( type [, values... ] )
       Sets or returns a method preference; for get, pass in the type only; to set, pass in
       either a list of values or a comma-separated string.  Values can only be queried after the
       session is connected.

           methods.

   connect ( handle | host [, port [, Timeout => secs ]] )
       Accepts a handle over which to conduct the SSH 2 protocol.  The handle may be:

       an "IO::*" object
       a glob reference
       an integer file descriptor
       a host name and port

   disconnect ( [description [, reason [, language]]] )
       Send a clean disconnect message to the remote server.  Default values are empty strings
       for description and language, and "SSH_DISCONNECT_BY_APPLICATION" for the reason.

   hostkey ( hash type )
       Returns a hash of the host key; note that the key is raw data and may contain nulls or
       control characters.  The type may be:

       MD5 (16 bytes)
       SHA1 (20 bytes)

   auth_list ( [username] )
       Get a list (or comma-separated string in scalar context) of authentication methods
       supported by the server; or returns "undef".  If "undef" is returned and auth_ok is true,
       the server accepted an unauthenticated session for the given username.

   auth_ok
       Returns true iff the session is authenticated.

   auth_password ( username [, password [, callback ]] )
       Authenticate using a password (PasswordAuthentication must be enabled in sshd_config or
       equivalent for this to work.)

       If the password has expired, if a callback code reference was given, it's called as
       "callback($self, $username)" and should return a password.  If no callback is provided,
       LIBSSH2_ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED is returned.

   auth_publickey ( username, public key, private key [, password ] )
       Note that public key and private key are names of files containing the keys!

       Authenticate using keys and an optional password.

   auth_hostbased ( username, public key, private key, hostname, [, local username [, password ]]
       )
       Host-based authentication using an optional password.  The local username defaults to be
       the same as the remote username.

   auth_keyboard ( username, password | callback )
       Authenticate using "keyboard-interactive".  Takes either a password, or a callback code
       reference which is invoked as "callback->(self, username, name, instruction, prompt...)"
       (where each prompt is a hash with "text" and "echo" keys, signifying the prompt text and
       whether the user input should be echoed, respectively) which should return an array of
       responses.

       If only a username is provided, the default callback will handle standard interactive
       responses; Term::ReadKey is required.

   auth_agent ( username )
       Try to authenticate using ssh-agent. This requires libssh2 version 1.2.3 or later.

   auth ( ... )
       This is a general, prioritizing authentication mechanism that can use any of the previous
       methods.  You provide it some parameters and (optionally) a ranked list of methods you
       want considered (defaults to all).  It will remove any unsupported methods or methods for
       which it doesn't have parameters (e.g. if you don't give it a public key, it can't use
       publickey or hostkey), and try the rest, returning whichever one succeeded or a false
       value if they all failed.  If a parameter is passed with an undef value, a default value
       will be supplied if possible.  The parameters are:

       rank
           An optional ranked list of methods to try.  The names should be the names of the
           Net::SSH2 "auth" methods, e.g. 'keyboard' or 'publickey', with the addition of
           'keyboard-auto' for automated 'keyboard-interactive'.

       username
       password
       publickey
       privatekey
           As in the methods, publickey and privatekey are filenames.

       hostname
       local_username
       interact
           If this is set to a true value, interactive methods will be considered.

       cb_keyboard
           auth_keyboard callback.

       cb_password
           auth_password callback.

   channel ( [type, [window size, [packet size]]] )
       Creates and returns a new channel object.  The default type is "session".  See
       Net::SSH2::Channel.

   tcpip ( host, port [, shost, sport ] )
       Creates a TCP connection from the remote host to the given host:port, returning a new
       channel.  Binds to shost:sport (default 127.0.0.1:22).

   listen ( port [, host [, bound port [, queue size ]]] )
       Sets up a TCP listening port on the remote host.  Host defaults to 0.0.0.0; if bound port
       is provided, it should be a scalar reference in which the bound port is returned.  Queue
       size specifies the maximum number of queued connections allowed before the server refuses
       new connections.

       Returns a new Net::SSH2::Listener object.

   scp_get ( remote [, local ] )
       Retrieve a file with scp; local path defaults to basename of remote.  "local" may be an IO
       object (e.g. IO::File, IO::Scalar).

   scp_put ( local [, remote ] )
       Send a file with scp; remote path defaults to same as local.  "local" may be an IO object
       instead of a filename (but it must have a valid stat method).

   sftp
       Return SecureFTP interface object (see Net::SSH2::SFTP).

   public_key
       Return public key interface object (see Net::SSH2::PublicKey).

   poll ( timeout, arrayref of hashes )
       Pass in a timeout in milliseconds and an arrayref of hashes with the following keys:

       handle
           May be a Net::SSH2::Channel or Net::SSH2::Listener object, integer file descriptor, or
           perl file handle.

       events
           Requested events.  Combination of LIBSSH2_POLLFD_* constants (with the POLL prefix
           stripped if present), or an arrayref of the names ('in', 'hup' etc.).

       revents
           Returned events.  Returns a hash with the (lowercased) names of the received events
           ('in', 'hup', etc.) as keys with true values, and a "value" key with the integer
           value.

       Returns undef on error, or the number of active objects.

   block_directions
       Get the blocked direction when a function returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN, returns
       LIBSSH2_SOCKET_BLOCK_INBOUND or LIBSSH2_SOCKET_BLOCK_OUTBOUND from the socket export
       group.

   debug ( state )
       Class method (affects all Net::SSH2 objects).  Pass 1 to enable, 0 to disable.  Debug
       output is sent to stderr via "warn".

   blocking ( flag )
       Enable or disable blocking.  Note that if blocking is disabled, methods that create
       channels may fail, e.g. "channel", "SFTP", "scp_*".
