code_change(OldVsn :: term() | {down, term()}, State :: term(), Extra :: term()) ->
               {ok, NewState :: term()} | {error, Reason :: term()}.

• OldVsn = term()
• In the case of an upgrade, OldVsn is Vsn, and in the case of a downgrade, OldVsn is {down,Vsn}. Vsn is defined by the vsn attribute(s) of the old version of the callback module Module. If no such attribute is defined, the version is the checksum of the BEAM file.
• State = term()
• Internal state of the channel.
• Extra = term()
• Passed "as-is" from the {advanced,Extra} part of the update instruction.

Converts process state when code is changed.

This function is called by a client-side channel when it is to update its internal state during a release upgrade or downgrade, that is, when the instruction {update,Module,Change,...}, where Change={advanced,Extra}, is given in the appup file. For more information, refer to Section 9.11.6 Release Handling Instructions in the System Documentation.

handle_call(Request :: term(), From :: {pid(), Tag :: term()}, State :: term()) ->
               {reply, Reply :: term(), NewState :: term()} |
               {reply, Reply :: term(), NewState :: term(), timeout() | hibernate} |
               {noreply, NewState :: term()} |
               {noreply, NewState :: term(), timeout() | hibernate} |
               {stop, Reason :: term(), Reply :: term(), NewState :: term()} |
               {stop, Reason :: term(), NewState :: term()}.

• Msg = term()
• From = opaque()
• Is to be used as argument to reply/2
• State = term()
• Result = {reply, Reply, NewState} | {reply, Reply, NewState, timeout()} | {noreply, NewState} | {noreply , NewState, timeout()} | {stop, Reason, Reply, NewState} | {stop, Reason, NewState}
• Reply = term()
• Will be the return value of call/[2,3]
• NewState = term()
• Reason = term()

Handles messages sent by calling call/[2,3]

Specs

handle_cast(Request :: term(), State :: term()) ->
               {noreply, NewState :: term()} |
               {noreply, NewState :: term(), timeout() | hibernate} |
               {stop, Reason :: term(), NewState :: term()}.

• Msg = term()
• State = term()
• Result = {noreply, NewState} | {noreply, NewState, timeout()} | {stop, Reason, NewState}
• NewState = term()
• Reason = term()

Handles messages sent by calling cast/2.

Specs

handle_msg(Msg :: term(), State :: term()) ->
              {ok, State :: term()} | {stop, ChannelId :: ssh:channel_id(), State :: term()}.

• Msg = timeout | term()
• ChannelId = ssh:channel_id()
• State = term()

Handles other messages than SSH Connection Protocol, call, or cast messages sent to the channel.

Possible Erlang 'EXIT' messages is to be handled by this function and all channels are to handle the following message.

{ssh_channel_up, ssh:channel_id(), ssh:connection_ref()}

This is the first message that the channel receives. It is sent just before the init/1 function returns successfully. This is especially useful if the server wants to send a message to the client without first receiving a message from it. If the message is not useful for your particular scenario, ignore it by immediately returning {ok, State}.

Specs

handle_ssh_msg(ssh_connection:event(), State :: term()) ->
                  {ok, State :: term()} | {stop, ChannelId :: ssh:channel_id(), State :: term()}.

• Msg = ssh_connection:event()
• ChannelId = ssh:channel_id()
• State = term()

Handles SSH Connection Protocol messages that may need service-specific attention. For details, see ssh_connection:event().

The following message is taken care of by the ssh_client_channel behavior.

{closed, ssh:channel_id()}

The channel behavior sends a close message to the other side, if such a message has not already been sent. Then it terminates the channel with reason normal.

Specs

init(Args :: term()) ->
        {ok, State :: term()} |
        {ok, State :: term(), timeout() | hibernate} |
        {stop, Reason :: term()} |
        ignore.

• Args = term()
• Last argument to start_link/4.
• State = term()
• Reason = term()

Makes necessary initializations and returns the initial channel state if the initializations succeed.

For more detailed information on time-outs, see Section Callback timeouts.

Specs

terminate(Reason :: normal | shutdown | {shutdown, term()} | term(), State :: term()) -> term().

• Reason = term()
• State = term()

This function is called by a channel process when it is about to terminate. Before this function is called, ssh_connection:close/2 is called, if it has not been called earlier. This function does any necessary cleaning up. When it returns, the channel process terminates with reason Reason. The return value is ignored.
