Net::SSH2::Channel - SSH 2 channel object
A channel object is created by the Net::SSH2 channel method. As well as being an object, it is also a tied filehandle. The Net::SSH2 poll method can be used to check for read/write availability and other conditions.

Sets remote environment variables. Note that most implementations do not allow environment variables to be freely set. Pass in a list of keys and values with the values to set. Returns the number of successful sets.
Enable or disable blocking. Note that this is currently implemented in libssh2 by setting a per-session flag; it's equivalent to Net::SSH2::blocking.
Returns true if the remote server sent an EOF.
Send an EOF to the remote. After an EOF has been sent, no more data may be sent; the connection should be closed.
Close the channel (happens automatically on object destruction).
Wait for a remote close event. Must have already seen remote EOF.
Returns the channel's program exit status.
Request a terminal on a channel. If provided, width and height are the width and height in characters (defaults to 80x24); if negative their absolute values specify width and height in pixels.

Start a process on the channel. See also shell, exec, subsystem.
Start a shell on the remote host; calls process("shell").
Execute the command on the remote host; calls process("exec", command). Note that only one of these requests can succeed per channel (cp. "exec" in perlfunc); if you want to run a series of commands, consider using shell instead.
Run subsystem on the remote host; calls process("subsystem", command).
Set extended data handling mode:
Keep data in separate channels; stderr is read separately.
Ignore all extended data.
Merge into the regular channel.
Attempts to read size bytes into the buffer. Returns number of bytes read, undef on failure. If ext is present and set, reads from the extended data channel (stderr).
Attempts to write the buffer to the channel. Returns number of bytes written, undef on failure. If ext is present and set, writes to the extended data channel (stderr).
Flushes the channel; if ext is present and set, flushes extended data channel. Returns number of bytes flushed, undef on error.
