@page threads Chapter 8: Threads with libssh
@section threads_with_libssh How to use libssh with threads
libssh may be used in multithreaded applications, but under several conditions :
- Threading must be initialized during the initialization of libssh. This
initialization must be done outside of any threading context.
- If pthreads is being used by your application (or your framework's backend),
you must link with libssh_threads_pthread dynamic library and initialize
threading with the ssh_threads_pthreads threading object.
- If an other threading library is being used by your application, you must
implement all the methods of the ssh_threads_callbacks_struct structure
and initialize libssh with it.
- At all times, you may use different sessions inside threads, make parallel
connections, read/write on different sessions and so on. You can use a
single session in several channels at the same time. This will lead to
internal state corruption. This limitation is being worked out and will
maybe disappear later.
@subsection threads_init Initialization of threads
To initialize threading, you must first select the threading model you want to
use, using ssh_threads_set_callbacks(), then call ssh_init().
@code
#include <libssh/callbacks.h>
...
ssh_threads_set_callbacks(ssh_threads_noop);
ssh_init();
@endcode
ssh_threads_noop is the threading structure that does nothing. It's the
threading callbacks being used by default when you're not using threading.
@subsection threads_pthread Using libpthread with libssh
If your application is using libpthread, you may simply use the libpthread
threading backend:
@code
#include <libssh/callbacks.h>
...
ssh_threads_set_callbacks(ssh_threads_pthread);
ssh_init();
@endcode
However, you must be sure to link with the library ssh_threads_pthread. If
you're using gcc, you must use the commandline
@code
gcc -o output input.c -lssh -lssh_threads_pthread
@endcode
@subsection threads_other Using another threading library
You must find your way in the ssh_threads_callbacks_struct structure. You must
implement the following methods :
- mutex_lock
- mutex_unlock
- mutex_init
- mutex_destroy
- thread_id
Good luck !
