Which mechanism does ssh use to interact with the SSH agent?

• Connecting to port 2222 which is used by the system-wide SSH agent.
• Using the fixed socket .ssh-agent/ipc.
• Creating an alias replacing ssh with calls to ssh-agent.
• Starting ssh-agent as a child process for each ssh invocation.
• Evaluating environment variables such as SSH_AUTH_SOCK.
