Pavel,
You can however choose to do a nonblocking read and then read from
both stdout and stderr. That'll return immediately if no data is
available so you won't get stuck on a read from stdout if there's no
data available.
libssh2_poll() can let you know that there's stdout(IN) and stderr
(EXT) data available, and that the command has finished
(CHANNEL_CLOSED). It's depreciated now though.
It seems the new idea is to do a select() or poll() on the socket,
then do a nonblocking read of both stdout and stderr. Can someone
clarify if that's correct please?
