libssh2_channel_signal_ex -- Send a signal to process previously
opened on channel.

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_channel_signal_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
const char *signame,
size_t signame_len)

DESCRIPTION

A signal can be delivered to the remote process/service. Some
servers or systems may not implement signals, in which case they will
probably ignore this message.

channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by
libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)

signame - The signal name is the same as the signal name constant,
without the leading "SIG".

signame_len - Length of passed signal name parameter.

There is also a macro libssh2_channel_signal(channel, signame) that
supplies the strlen of the signame.

RETURN VALUE

Normal channel error codes. LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would
block.
