All such requests use the following format. byte SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUEST string request name in US-ASCII only boolean want reply .... request-specific data follows The value of 'request name' follows the DNS extensibility naming convention outlined in [SSH-ARCH]. The recipient will respond to this message with SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS or SSH_MSG_REQUEST_FAILURE if 'want reply' is TRUE. byte SSH_MSG_REQUEST_SUCCESS .... response specific data Usually, the 'response specific data' is non-existent. If the recipient does not recognize or support the request, it simply responds with SSH_MSG_REQUEST_FAILURE. byte SSH_MSG_REQUEST_FAILURE In general, the reply messages do not include request type identifiers. To make it possible for the originator of a request to identify to which request each reply refers, it is REQUIRED that replies to SSH_MSG_GLOBAL_REQUESTS MUST be sent in the same order as the corresponding request messages. For channel requests, replies that relate to the same channel MUST also be replied to in the right order. However, channel requests for distinct channels MAY be replied to out-of-order.
