A signal can be delivered to the remote process/service. Some servers or systems may not implement signals, in which case they will probably ignore this message.
channel - Previously opened channel instance such as returned by libssh2_channel_open_ex(3)
signame - The signal name is the same as the signal name constant, without the leading "SIG".
signame_len - Length of passed signal name parameter.
There is also a macro libssh2_channel_signal(channel, signame) that supplies the strlen of the signame.
Normal channel error codes. LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would block.
