[PATCH] Enable ssh_config to set LogPath option (-E)

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]

 



ssh client has the ability to set the destination of debug logs via the `-E` flag.  ssh_config lacks an equivalent keyword to set the same option via configs.

This patch follows the same semantics of other `*Path` type keywords and creates a new ssh_config keyword `LogPath`.
