[Libssh] channel_read - Save read characters in "string"

[Rico Kerster]

Hello libssh-List
I successfully logged into my SSH server, can issue a command and output the comands' result to the terminal window (as in the example, I achieved that with the function "write()")

    string command_output;
    char cmd[] = "date\n";
    BUFFER *readbuf = buffer_new();
    int num = channel_write(channel,cmd,sizeof(cmd));
    num = channel_read(channel,readbuf,0,0);

    write(1,buffer_get(readbuf),buffer_get_len(readbuf));

But now I'd like to store the content of readbuf in the string "command_output", I studied the _M_write() template and how "write()" gets out the characters but I couldn't manage to understand and copy it.  So to sum up my question:

How do I store the characters of readbuff (BUFFER) in command_output (string) or in a char[]?

Thanks in Advance.
