libssh2_hostkey_hash(3) libssh2 manual libssh2_hostkey_hash(3)NAMElibssh2_hostkey_hash - return a hash of the remote host's key
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
const char * libssh2_hostkey_hash(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, int
hash_type);
DESCRIPTION
session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
hash_type - One of: LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_MD5 or LIB‐
SSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1.
Returns the computed digest of the remote system's hostkey. The length
of the returned string is hash_type specific (e.g. 16 bytes for MD5, 20
bytes for SHA1).
RETURN VALUE
Computed hostkey hash value, or NULL if the information is not avail‐
able (either the session has not yet been started up, or the requested
hash algorithm was not available). The hash consists of raw binary
bytes, not hex digits, so it is not directly printable.
