+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION \- callback to check hostkey (to overwrite the functionality known_host file)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+int sshhostkeycallback(void *clientp,/* custom pointer passed with CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA */
+ int keytype, /* CURLKHTYPE */
+ const char * key, /*hostkey to check*/
+ size_t keylen); /*length of the key*/
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION,
+ sshhostkeycallback);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above. It overrides CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS.
+
+It gets called when the verification of the hostkey is needed.
+
+This callback function gets passed a custom pointer (set with
+\fICURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA(3)\fP, the libcurl keytype, the hostkey,
+the length of the key.
+It MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how to act:
+.IP CURLKHMATCH_OK
+The hostkey is accepted, the connexion should continue.
+.IP CURLKHMATCH_MISMATCH
+the hostkey is rejected, the connexion is canceled.
+.SH DEFAULT
+NULL
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+SCP and SFTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+int sshhostkeycallback(void *clientp,/* custom pointer passed with CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA */
+ int keytype, /* CURLKHTYPE */
+ const char * key, /*hostkey to check*/
+ size_t keylen); /*length of the key*/
+{
+ /* 'clientp' points to the callback_data struct */
+ /* investigate the situation and return the correct value */
+ return CURLKHMATCH_OK;
+}
+{
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/thisfile.txt");
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION, sshhostkeycallback);
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA, &callback_data);
