.TH CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION 3 "4 Nov 2021" "libcurl 7.84.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION \- callback to check hostkey
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
int keycallback(void *clientp,
int keytype,
const char *key,
size_t keylen);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYFUNCTION,
keycallback);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above. It overrides \fICURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS(3)\fP.
This callback gets called when the verification of the SSH hostkey is needed.
\fBkey\fP is \fBkeylen\fP bytes long and is the key to check. \fBkeytype\fP
says what type it is, from the \fBCURLKHTYPE_*\fP series in the curl_khtype
enum.
\fBclientp\fP is a custom pointer set with \fICURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA(3)\fP.
The callback MUST return one of the following return codes to tell libcurl how
to act:
.IP CURLKHMATCH_OK
The hostkey is accepted, the connection should continue.
.IP CURLKHMATCH_MISMATCH
the hostkey is rejected, the connection is canceled.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
SCP and SFTP
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int hostkeycb(void *clientp, /* 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, hostkeycb);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOSTKEYDATA, &callback_data);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
