-- Provides a binding for the libssh2 library.
--
-- SSH2 is a complex protocol and libssh2 simplifies many tasks involved in
-- interacting with ssh servers. This module provides bindings for some of the
-- most commonly used libssh2 functions.
--
-- For perfomance reasons, the modules reuses the NSE's existing nsock socket
-- pool. In order to accomplish this, libssh2 is a given a unix socket pair
-- instead of a network socket. As a result, this library is *nix only at the
-- current time.

module "libssh2"
--- Creates libssh2 session and performs handshake
-- @param host Host to connect to.
-- @param port Port to connect to.
-- @return session or nil on failure
function session_open(host, port)
--- Returns SHA1 or MD5 hostkey hash of session
-- @param session Connected libssh2 session.
-- @param hashtype (optional) "sha1" or "md5" (sha1 is default)
-- @return hostkey hash of server
function hostkey_hash(session, hashtype)
--- Sets timeout of libssh2 session
-- @param session Connected libssh2 session.
-- @param timeout Timeout for session in milliseconds.
function set_timeout(session, timeout)
--- Returns list of authentication methods supported by the server
-- @param session Connected libssh2 session.
-- @return List of supported authentication methods/
function userauth_list(session)
--- Attempts to authenicate libssh2 session using provided credentials
-- @param username Username to authenicate as.
-- @param password Password to authenicate with.
-- @return true/false, depending on success
function userauth_password(session, username, password)
--- Attempts to authenticate libssh2 session using provided publickey
-- @param session Connected libssh2 session
-- @param username Username to authenicate as
-- @param privatekeyfile File containing privatekey
-- @param passphrase Passphrase for privatekey
-- @param publickeyfile File containing publickey. Not necessary if libssh2 is
-- compiled against OpenSSL
-- @return true/false, depending on success
function userauth_publickey(session, username, privatekeyfile, passphrase publickeyfile)
--- Read publickey from id_*.pub type key file
-- @param publickeyfile File containing publickey
-- @return string containing raw key data
function read_publickey(publickeyfile)
--- Checks to see if ssh server accepts public key for authentication as given user.
-- This doesn't require the private key as it doesn't finish authenticating.
-- @param session Connected libssh2 session
-- @param username Username to authenicate as
-- @param publickeydata String containing raw publickey blob
-- @return true/false, depending on whether user can authenticate with given key
function publickey_canauth(session, username, publickeydata)
--- Gracefully closes connected libssh2 session
