.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>

void 
libssh2_channel_set_blocking(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int blocking);

.SH DESCRIPTION
Set or clear blocking mode on the selected channel. If a read is performed on
a channel with no data currently available, a blocking channel will wait for
data to arrive and return what it receives. A non-blocking channel will return
immediately with an empty buffer.  If a write is performed on a channel with
no room for more data, a blocking channel will wait for room.  A non-blocking
channel will return immediately without writing anything.

\fIchannel\fP - channel stream to set or clean blocking status on.

\fIblocking\fP - Set to a non-zero value to make the channel block, or zero to
make it non-blocking.

None
