Hello
I am using libssh2 with libevent in my application and i ran into the
following issue.
I do not receive all data that is supposed to come through the terminal.
Some of that data can be noticed in libssh2 debug output:
=> libssh2_transport_read() plain (158 bytes)

[libssh2] 3.686087 Transport: Packet type 94 received, length=158
Only terminal sequence c [1;24r [1;1H [0J followed by "System: Large
Software Version: R016x.03.0.124.0 [B" was delivered to my
application,
My application calls libssh2_channel_read_ex until evbuffer_remove returns
nothing. This approach worked in all my network application. I tried
streams 0 and 1. When i am reading stream 1, the applications does not
receive any data from sshd.
I opened normal ssh client and logged in to the system without choosing the
terminal type. Then i opened another ssh client process and logged to the
system, choiced the terminal type and issued the "wall" command. The
contents of the broadcast message was displayed in both instances of the
normal ssh client.
However, the application does not receive that data even according to
libssh2_transport_read
debug output.
So there are at least two questions:
1) why only "System: Large Software Version:
R016x.03.0.124.0 [B" was delivered to my application, but not "Software
Version: R016x.03.0.124.0.[B..Terminal Type (513, 715, 4410, 4425, VT220,
NTT, W2KTT, SUNT): [513]" ? The latter was also present in libssh2 debug
output.
2) why unsolicited "wall" messages are not delivered neither through
standard stream nor through stderr stream ? Is there any special stream
that i'm missing? How to get the list of all available streams ?
Last time when i ran the application i got the following output:
16:34:57.724 BCMSMonitor::OnReadLine: Data: System: Large

However, sshd server is still not sending unsolicited data to my
