Bug ID: 3034
Summary: provide options to map additional FDs
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 8.0p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: brian at interlinx.bc.ca
While it's really cool that ssh will map the remote's std{in,out,err}
to the local FDs representing those streams, it would be nice to be
able to map additional remote FDs to local FDs.
A working example of how this might be useful:
#!/bin/bash
exec 3>/tmp/remote_xtrace
ssh --map_fd 3:3 remote "export BASH_XTRACEFD=3; id; ls -l"
That way one can get the xtrace of the remote script being run without
it polluting the stderr stream.
I am sure there are tons of other examples of how this would be useful.
