libssh-sys-dylib

Rust crate that provides FFI bindings to libssh.

Dependencies

Bindings are generated at build time using bindgen. See its Requirements page. libssh must be present on your system during runtime, it is dynamically linked. This addresses the warnings against static linking and its license implications. In order to build this crate libssh header files must also be available.

On Ubuntu all dependencies can be installed by running

apt install libssh-dev llvm-dev clang

See other options on libssh download page.

Building

cargo build

Usage

See smoke test where simple ssh server and client are created. The goal of the test is to show bindings work correctly, it is not a recommended way of API usage. More examples in C/C++ can be found here.
