Did you try to read the docs? Is it really that bad?

The calls are blocking or non-blocking, and non-blocking ones can return
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when they would otherwise block on a socket operation.

It'll be much easier for us if you can show us a small application that
repeats the problem.

I don't understand. If you want SFTP, you need libssh2_sftp_init.

Nope. There's no such error on src/sftp.c line 503 or even near it in that
version either. In 1.2.1 the libssh2_error() call is on line 562, which is
exactly where it still is in current git.
