# NAME

libssh2_channel_send_eof - send EOF to remote server

# SYNOPSIS

~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>

int
libssh2_channel_send_eof(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel);
~~~

# DESCRIPTION

Tell the remote host that no further data will be sent on the specified
channel. Processes typically interpret this as a closed stdin descriptor.

# RETURN VALUE

Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.

# ERRORS

*LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND* - Unable to send data on socket.
