NAME
libssh2_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, LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA1
or LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_HASH_SHA256.
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, 32 bytes for SHA256).
RETURN VALUE
Computed hostkey hash value, or NULL if the information is not
available (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.
