ssh Question - how to leave the connection open without a tty

I'm trying to create a installable binary that supports the -T option (no tty) so I can use it to connect to with VSCode's remote option.

VSCode fails to connect with a Failed to parse remote port from server output error - I'm not certain, but I expect this is because it sends the -T option, but then the ssh server immediately closes the connection because there is no command or tty.

What code do I need to leave the connection open without having a tty?

Hi @ZhangKingsasa. In the end we used https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable instead for our use case.

You can get that information from the session. Here's a hint from the example:
