c# - SSH.NET getting entire output from a shellstream -

ive encountered quite strange phenomenon; when using client.runcommand() function, entire output switch, when using own implementation:

sshclient cl = new sshclient(ip, username, password);  cl.connect();  shell = cl.createshellstream("tail", 80, 24,800, 600, 1024);  streamwriter wr = new streamwriter(shell); streamreader rd = new streamreader(shell);  wr.autoflush = true;  wr.writeline("show int status");  string rep = shell.expect("switch_wan#", new timespan(0,0,3)); messagebox.show(rep, "output"); 

i partial output, , prompt saying --more-- how can entire output switch?

an example partial output:

while using client.runcommand() function entire 48 ports in output.

thanks in advanced, if not clear, please so.

ps. before suggests, no, cant use client.runcommand(), must use streams.

p.p.s if explain values go cl.createshellstream("trail", 80, 24,800, 600, 1024); very thankful dont understand values go into

this looks similar working on recently. while simon's answer give more data, won't if return more data shell size (e.g. if have big switch lot of ports).

there 2 ways tried solve this:

1) read latest line , check presence of --more--

problem based on software version of switch, format different. broke usage.

2) 2nd , better option me using snmp information.

if want information switch, i'll use snmp rather ssh. information easy obtain if have correct oids. you'll need snmp walk information. library used snmpsharp.net (http://www.snmpsharpnet.com/)

as values go createshellstream method, here method declaration docs: public shellstream createshellstream(string terminalname, uint columns, uint rows, uint width, uint height, int buffersize)
