channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)

auth_proto - X11 authentication protocol to use

auth_cookie - the cookie (hexadecimal encoded).

screen_number - the XLL screen to forward

Request an X11 forwarding on channel. To use X11 forwarding, libssh2_session_callback_set(3) must first be called to set LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_X11. This callback will be invoked when the remote host accepts the X11 forwarding.

Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn’t really a failure per se.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed.

LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.
