libcurl's binary interface
ABI - Application Binary Interface
First, allow me to define the word for this context: ABI describes the
low-level interface between an application program and a library. Calling
conventions, function arguments, return values, struct sizes/defines and
more.
For a longer descricption, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface
Upgrades
In the vast majority of all cases, a typical libcurl upgrade does not break
the ABI at all. Your application can remain using libcurl just as before,
only with less bugs and possibly with added new features. You need to read
the release notes, and if they mention an ABI break/soname bump, you may
have to verify that your application still builds fine and uses libcurl as
it now is defined to work.
Version Numbers
In libcurl land, you really can't tell by the libcurl version number if that
libcurl is binary compatible or not with another libcurl version.
Soname Bumps
Whenever there are changes done to the library that will cause an ABI
breakage, that may require your application to get attention or possibly be
changed to adhere to new things, we will bump the soname. Then the library
will get a different output name and thus can in fact be installed in
parallell with an older installed lib (on most systems). Thus, old
applications built against the previous ABI version will remain working and
using the older lib, while newer applications build and use the newer one.
During the first seven years of libcurl releases, there have only been four
ABI breakages.
Downgrades
Going to an older libcurl version from one you're currently using can be a
tricky thing. Mostly we add features and options to newer libcurls as that
won't break ABI or hamper existing applications. This has the implication
that going backwards may get you in a situation where you pick a libcurl
that doesn't support the options your application needs. Or possibly you
even downgrade so far so you cross an ABI break border and thus a different
soname, and then your application may need to adapt to the modified ABI.

.SH NAME
curl_easy_cleanup - End a libcurl easy session
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.BI "void curl_easy_cleanup(CURL *" handle ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function must be the last function to call for an easy session. It is the
opposite of the \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP function and must be called with the
same \fIhandle\fP as input that the curl_easy_init call returned.
This will effectively close all connections this handle has used and possibly
has kept open until now. Don't call this function if you intend to transfer
more files.
Any uses of the \fBhandle\fP after this function has been called are
illegal. This kills the handle and all memory associated with it!
With libcurl versions prior to 7.17.: when you've called this, you can safely
remove all the strings you've previously told libcurl to use, as it won't use
them anymore now.

.SH NAME
curl_easy_duphandle - Clone a libcurl session handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.BI "CURL *curl_easy_duphandle(CURL *"handle ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function will return a new curl handle, a duplicate, using all the
options previously set in the input curl \fIhandle\fP. Both handles can
subsequently be used independently and they must both be freed with
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP.
All strings that the input handle has been told to point to (as opposed to
copy) with previous calls to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP using char * inputs,
will be pointed to by the new handle as well. You must therefore make sure to
keep the data around until both handles have been cleaned up.
The new handle will \fBnot\fP inherit any state information, no connections,
no SSL sessions and no cookies.
\fBNote\fP that even in multi-threaded programs, this function must be called
in a synchronous way, the input handle may not be in use when cloned.
.SH RETURN VALUE
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and no valid handle was
returned.

.TH curl_easy_getinfo 3 "16 Oct 2008" "libcurl 7.19.1" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_getinfo - extract information from a curl handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.B "CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *curl, CURLINFO info, ... );"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Request internal information from the curl session with this function. The
third argument \fBMUST\fP be a pointer to a long, a pointer to a char *, a
pointer to a struct curl_slist * or a pointer to a double (as this
documentation describes further down). The data pointed-to will be filled in
accordingly and can be relied upon only if the function returns CURLE_OK. Use
this function AFTER a performed transfer if you want to get transfer- oriented
data.
You should not free the memory returned by this function unless it is
explicitly mentioned below.
.SH AVAILABLE INFORMATION
The following information can be extracted:
.IP CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL
Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive the last used effective URL.
.IP CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP or FTP code. This
option was known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. This
will be zero if no server response code has been received. Note that a proxy's
CONNECT response should be read with \fICURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE\fP and not
this.
.IP CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received proxy response code to a
CONNECT request.
.IP CURLINFO_FILETIME
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the remote time of the retrieved document
(in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If you get
-1, it can be because of many reasons (unknown, the server hides it or the
server doesn't support the command that tells document time etc) and the time
of the document is unknown. Note that you must tell the server to collect this
information before the transfer is made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME option
to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP or you will unconditionally get a -1 back. (Added
in 7.5)
.IP CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds for the
previous transfer, including name resolving, TCP connect etc.
.IP CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the name resolving was completed.
.IP CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the connect to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.
.IP CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the SSL/SSH connect/handshake to the remote host was completed.
This time is most often very near to the PRETRANSFER time, except for cases
such as HTTP pippelining where the pretransfer time can be delayed due to
waits in line for the pipeline and more. (Added in 7.19.0)
.IP CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the file transfer is just about to begin. This includes all
pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are specific to the particular
protocol(s) involved.
.IP CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the first byte is just about to be transferred. This includes
CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME and also the time the server needs to calculate
the result.
.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time, in seconds, it took for
all redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer
before final transaction was started. CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME contains the
complete execution time for multiple redirections. (Added in 7.9.7)
.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total number of redirections that were
actually followed. (Added in 7.9.7)
.IP CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the URL a redirect \fIwould\fP
take you to if you would enable CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. This can come very
handy if you think using the built-in libcurl redirect logic isn't good enough
for you but you would still prefer to avoid implementing all the magic of
figuring out the new URL. (Added in 7.18.2)
.IP CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were
uploaded.
.IP CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were
downloaded. The amount is only for the latest transfer and will be reset again
for each new transfer.
.IP CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the average download speed that curl
measured for the complete download. Measured in bytes/second.
.IP CURLINFO_SPEED_UPLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the average upload speed that curl
measured for the complete upload. Measured in bytes/second.
.IP CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of all the headers
received. Measured in number of bytes.
.IP CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the total size of the issued
requests. This is so far only for HTTP requests. Note that this may be more
than one request if FOLLOWLOCATION is true.
.IP CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the result of the certification
verification that was requested (using the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option to
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP).
.IP CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES
Pass the address of a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of
OpenSSL crypto-engines supported. Note that engines are normally implemented
in separate dynamic libraries. Hence not all the returned engines may be
available at run-time. \fBNOTE:\fP you must call \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP
on the list pointer once you're done with it, as libcurl will not free the
data for you. (Added in 7.12.3)
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the content-length of the download. This
is the value read from the Content-Length: field.
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the specified size of the upload.
.IP CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE
Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive the content-type of the downloaded
object. This is the value read from the Content-Type: field. If you get NULL,
it means that the server didn't send a valid Content-Type header or that the
protocol used doesn't support this.
.IP CURLINFO_PRIVATE
Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive the pointer to the private data
associated with the curl handle (set with the CURLOPT_PRIVATE option to
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP). Please note that for internal reasons, the
value is returned as a 'char *', although effectively being a 'void *'.
(Added in 7.10.3)
.IP CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL
Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication
method(s) available. The meaning of the bits is explained in the
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH option for \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP. (Added in 7.10.8)
.IP CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL
Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication
method(s) available for your proxy authentication. (Added in 7.10.8)
.IP CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect failure.
(Added in 7.12.2)
.IP CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS
Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to
create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are
counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT\fP you are able to know
how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See
the Connection Options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries
to make persistent connections to save time. (Added in 7.12.3)
.IP CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a zero-terminated
string holding the IP address of the most recent connection done with this
\fBcurl\fP handle. This string may be IPv6 if that's enabled. Note that you
get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-used at next request so you
need to copy the string if you want to keep the information. (Added in 7.19.0)
.IP CURLINFO_COOKIELIST
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all
cookies cURL knows (expired ones, too). Don't forget to
\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP the list after it has been used. If there are no
cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or simply none have been
received) 'struct curl_slist *' will be set to point to NULL. (Added in
7.14.1)
.IP CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last socket used by this curl
session. If the socket is no longer valid, -1 is returned. When you finish
working with the socket, you must call curl_easy_cleanup() as usual and let
libcurl close the socket and cleanup other resources associated with the
handle. This is typically used in combination with \fICURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP.
(Added in 7.15.2)
.IP CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH
Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive a pointer to a string holding the path
of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when logging
on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if something is
wrong. (Added in 7.15.4)
.IP CURLINFO_CERTINFO
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_certinfo *' and you'll get it set to point to
struct that holds a number of linked lists with info about the certificate
chain, assuming you had CURLOPT_CERTINFO enabled when the previous request was
done. The struct reports how many certs it found and then you can extract info
for each of those certs by following the linked lists. The info chain is
provided in a series of data in the format "name:content" where the content is
for the specific named data. See also the certinfo.c example. NOTE: this
option is only available in libcurl built with OpenSSL support. (Added in
7.19.1)

<p class="level0">Request internal information from the curl session with this function. The third argument <span Class="bold">MUST</span> be a pointer to a long, a pointer to a char *, a pointer to a struct curl_slist * or a pointer to a double (as this documentation describes further down). The data pointed-to will be filled in accordingly and can be relied upon only if the function returns CURLE_OK. Use this function AFTER a performed transfer if you want to get transfer- oriented data.
<p class="level0">You should not free the memory returned by this function unless it is explicitly mentioned below. <a name="AVAILABLE"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">AVAILABLE INFORMATION</h2>

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLINFORESPONSECODE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a long to receive the last received HTTP or FTP code. This option was known as CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE in libcurl 7.10.7 and earlier. This will be zero if no server response code has been received. Note that a proxy's CONNECT response should be read with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLINFOHTTPCONNECTCODE">CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE</a> and not this.

<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a long to receive the remote time of the retrieved document (in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If you get -1, it can be because of many reasons (unknown, the server hides it or the server doesn't support the command that tells document time etc) and the time of the document is unknown. Note that you must tell the server to collect this information before the transfer is made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME option to <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_setopt.html">curl_easy_setopt(3)</a> or you will unconditionally get a -1 back.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLINFOPRIVATE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLINFO_PRIVATE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a 'char *' to receive the pointer to the private data associated with the curl handle (set with the CURLOPT_PRIVATE option to <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_setopt.html">curl_easy_setopt(3)</a>).

.TH curl_easy_pause 3 "17 Dec 2007" "libcurl 7.18.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_pause - pause and unpause a connection
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_pause(CURL *"handle ", int "bitmask " );"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Using this function, you can explicitly mark a running connection to get
paused, and you can unpause a connection that was previously paused.
A connection can be paused by using this function or by letting the read
or the write callbacks return the proper magic return code
(\fICURL_READFUNC_PAUSE\fP and \fICURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE\fP). A write callback
that returns pause signals to the library that it couldn't take care of any
data at all, and that data will then be delivered again to the callback when
the writing is later unpaused.
NOTE: while it may feel tempting, take care and notice that you cannot call
this function from another thread.
When this function is called to unpause reading, the chance is high that you
will get your write callback called before this function returns.
The \fBhandle\fP argument is of course identifying the handle that operates on
the connection you want to pause or unpause.
The \fBbitmask\fP argument is a set of bits that sets the new state of the
connection. The following bits can be used:
.IP CURLPAUSE_RECV
Pause receiving data. There will be no data received on this conneciton until
this function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the write callback
(\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP) won't be called.
.IP CURLPAUSE_SEND
Pause sending data. There will be no data sent on this connection until this
function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the read callback
(\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP) won't be called.
.IP CURLPAUSE_ALL
Convenience define that pauses both directions.
.IP CURLPAUSE_CONT
Convenience define that unpauses both directions
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, and a non-zero return
code means something wrong occurred after the new state was set. See the
\fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP man page for the full list with descriptions.
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.18.0. Before this version, there was no
explicit support for pausing transfers.
.SH "MEMORY USE"
When pausing a read by returning the magic return code from a write callback,
the read data is already in libcurl's internal buffers so it'll have to keep
it in an allocated buffer until the reading is again unpaused using this
function.
If the downloaded data is compressed and is asked to get uncompressed
automatically on download, libcurl will continue to uncompress the entire
downloaded chunk and it will cache the data uncompressed. This has the side-
effect that if you download something that is compressed a lot, it can result
in a very large data amount needing to be allocated to save the data during
the pause. This said, you should probably consider not using paused reading if
you allow libcurl to uncompress data automatically.

<p class="level0"><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">Using this function, you can explicitly mark a running connection to get paused, and you can unpause a connection that was previously paused.
<p class="level0">A connection can be paused by using this function or by letting the read or the write callbacks return the proper magic return code (<span Class="emphasis">CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE</span> and <span Class="emphasis">CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE</span>). A write callback that returns pause signals to the library that it couldn't take care of any data at all, and that data will then be delivered again to the callback when the writing is later unpaused.
<p class="level0">NOTE: while it may feel tempting, take care and notice that you cannot call this function from another thread.
<p class="level0">When this function is called to unpause reading, the chance is high that you will get your write callback called before this function returns.
<p class="level0">The <span Class="bold">handle</span> argument is of course identifying the handle that operates on the connection you want to pause or unpause.
<p class="level0">The <span Class="bold">bitmask</span> argument is a set of bits that sets the new state of the connection. The following bits can be used:
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLPAUSERECV"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLPAUSE_RECV</span>
<p class="level1">Pause receiving data. There will be no data received on this conneciton until this function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the write callback (<span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</span>) won't be called.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLPAUSESEND"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLPAUSE_SEND</span>
<p class="level1">Pause sending data. There will be no data sent on this connection until this function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the read callback (<span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_READFUNCTION</span>) won't be called.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLPAUSEALL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLPAUSE_ALL</span>
<p class="level1">Convenience define that pauses both directions.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLPAUSECONT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLPAUSE_CONT</span>
<p class="level1">Convenience define that unpauses both directions <a name="RETURN"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">RETURN VALUE</h2>
<p class="level0">CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, and a non-zero return code means something wrong occurred after the new state was set. See the <span Class="emphasis">libcurl-errors(3)</span> man page for the full list with descriptions. <a name="AVAILABILITY"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">AVAILABILITY</h2>
<p class="level0">This function was added in libcurl 7.18.0. Before this version, there was no explicit support for pausing transfers. <a name="MEMORY"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">MEMORY USE</h2>
<p class="level0">When pausing a read by returning the magic return code from a write callback, the read data is already in libcurl's internal buffers so it'll have to keep it in an allocated buffer until the reading is again unpaused using this function.
<p class="level0">If the downloaded data is compressed and is asked to get uncompressed automatically on download, libcurl will continue to uncompress the entire downloaded chunk and it will cache the data uncompressed. This has the side- effect that if you download something that is compressed a lot, it can result in a very large data amount needing to be allocated to save the data during the pause. This said, you should probably consider not using paused reading if you allow libcurl to uncompress data automatically. <a name="SEE"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">SEE ALSO</h2>

.SH NAME
curl_easy_perform - Perform a file transfer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *" handle ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function is called after the init and all the \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP
calls are made, and will perform the transfer as described in the options. It
must be called with the same
.I handle
as input as the curl_easy_init call returned.
You can do any amount of calls to \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP while using the
same handle. If you intend to transfer more than one file, you are even
encouraged to do so. libcurl will then attempt to re-use the same connection
for the following transfers, thus making the operations faster, less CPU
intense and using less network resources. Just note that you will have to use
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP between the invokes to set options for the following
curl_easy_perform.
You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the
same handle. Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If
you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl handles.
.SH RETURN VALUE
0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred as
.I <curl/curl.h>
defines. If the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER was set with
.I curl_easy_setopt
there will be a readable error message in the error buffer when non-zero is
returned.

.TH curl_easy_recv 3 "29 April 2008" "libcurl 7.18.2" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_easy_recv - receives raw data on an "easy" connection
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/easy.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_recv( CURL *" curl ", void *" buffer ","
.BI "size_t " buflen ", size_t *" n ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function receives raw data from the established connection. You may use
it together with \fIcurl_easy_send(3)\fP to implement custom protocols using
libcurl. This functionality can be particularly useful if you use proxies
and/or SSL encryption: libcurl will take care of proxy negotiation and
connection set-up.
\fBbuffer\fP is a pointer to your buffer that will get the received
data. \fBbuflen\fP is the maximum amount of data you can get in that
buffer. The variable \fBn\fP points to will receive the number of received
bytes.
To establish the connection, set \fBCURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY\fP option before
calling \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP. Note that \fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP does not
work on connections that were created without this option.
You must ensure that the socket has data to read before calling
\fIcurl_easy_recv(3)\fP, otherwise the call will return \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP -
the socket is used in non-blocking mode internally. Use
\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with \fBCURLINFO_LASTSOCKET\fP to obtain the
socket; use your operating system facilities like \fIselect(2)\fP to check if
it has any data you can read.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.18.2.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, returns \fBCURLE_OK\fP, stores the received data into
\fBbuffer\fP, and the number of bytes it actually read into \fB*n\fP.
On failure, returns the appropriate error code.
If there is no data to read, the function returns \fBCURLE_AGAIN\fP. Use
your operating system facilities to wait until the data is ready, and retry.
.SH EXAMPLE
See \fBsendrecv.c\fP in \fBdocs/examples\fP directory for usage example.

<p class="level0">CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter); <a name="DESCRIPTION"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p class="level0">curl_easy_setopt() is used to tell libcurl how to behave. By using the appropriate options to <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_setopt</span>, you can change libcurl's behavior. All options are set with the <span Class="emphasis">option</span> followed by a <span Class="emphasis">parameter</span>. That parameter can be a <span Class="bold">long</span>, a <span Class="bold">function pointer</span>, an <span Class="bold">object pointer</span> or a <span Class="bold">curl_off_t</span>, depending on what the specific option expects. Read this manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl to behave badly! You can only set one option in each function call. A typical application uses many curl_easy_setopt() calls in the setup phase.
<p class="level0">Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming transfers performed using this <span Class="emphasis">handle</span>. The options are not in any way reset between transfers, so if you want subsequent transfers with different options, you must change them between the transfers. You can optionally reset all options back to internal default with <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_reset.html">curl_easy_reset(3)</a>.
<p class="level0">Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the library; thus the string storage associated to the pointer argument may be overwritten after curl_easy_setopt() returns. Exceptions to this rule are described in the option details below.
<p class="level0">NOTE: before 7.17.0 strings were not copied. Instead the user was forced keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them.
<p class="level0">The <span Class="emphasis">handle</span> is the return code from a <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_init.html">curl_easy_init(3)</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_duphandle.html">curl_easy_duphandle(3)</a> call. <a name="BEHAVIOR"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">BEHAVIOR OPTIONS</h2>
<p class="level0">
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTVERBOSE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_VERBOSE</span>
<p class="level1">Set the parameter to 1 to get the library to display a lot of verbose information about its operations. Very useful for libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information will be sent to stderr, or the stream set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSTDERR">CURLOPT_STDERR</a>.
<p class="level1">You hardly ever want this set in production use, you will almost always want this when you debug/report problems. Another neat option for debugging is the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTHEADER"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_HEADER</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to include the header in the body output. This is only relevant for protocols that actually have headers preceding the data (like HTTP).
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTNOPROGRESS"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to shut off the built-in progress meter completely.
<p class="level1">Future versions of libcurl is likely to not have any built-in progress meter at all.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTNOSIGNAL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will not use any functions that install signal handlers or any functions that cause signals to be sent to the process. This option is mainly here to allow multi-threaded unix applications to still set/use all timeout options etc, without risking getting signals. (Added in 7.10)
<p class="level1">If this option is set and libcurl has been built with the standard name resolver, timeouts will not occur while the name resolve takes place. Consider building libcurl with ares support to enable asynchronous DNS lookups, which enables nice timeouts for name resolves without signals.
<p class="level1"><a name="CALLBACK"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">CALLBACK OPTIONS</h2>
<p class="level0">
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTWRITEFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="bold">size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);</span> This function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data received that needs to be saved. The size of the data pointed to by <span Class="emphasis">ptr</span> is <span Class="emphasis">size</span> multiplied with <span Class="emphasis">nmemb</span>, it will not be zero terminated. Return the number of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to your function, it'll signal an error to the library and it will abort the transfer and return <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_WRITE_ERROR</span>.
<p class="level1">From 7.18.0, the function can return CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE which then will cause writing to this connection to become paused. See <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_pause.html">curl_easy_pause(3)</a> for further details.
<p class="level1">This function may be called with zero bytes data if the transfered file is empty.
<p class="level1">Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function. The internal default function will write the data to the FILE * given with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEDATA">CURLOPT_WRITEDATA</a>.
<p class="level1">Set the <span Class="emphasis">stream</span> argument with the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEDATA">CURLOPT_WRITEDATA</a> option.
<p class="level1">The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes, but you cannot possibly make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be thousands. The maximum amount of data that can be passed to the write callback is defined in the curl.h header file: CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTWRITEDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_WRITEDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Data pointer to pass to the file write function. If you use the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEFUNCTION">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</a> option, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you don't use a callback, you must pass a 'FILE *' as libcurl will pass this to fwrite() when writing data.
<p class="level1">The internal <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEFUNCTION">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</a> will write the data to the FILE * given with this option, or to stdout if this option hasn't been set.
<p class="level1">If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you <span Class="bold">MUST</span> use the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEFUNCTION">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</a> if you set this option or you will experience crashes.
<p class="level1">This option is also known with the older name <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_FILE</span>, the name <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEDATA">CURLOPT_WRITEDATA</a> was introduced in 7.9.7.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTREADFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_READFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="bold">size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);</span> This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to read data in order to send it to the peer. The data area pointed at by the pointer <span Class="emphasis">ptr</span> may be filled with at most <span Class="emphasis">size</span> multiplied with <span Class="emphasis">nmemb</span> number of bytes. Your function must return the actual number of bytes that you stored in that memory area. Returning 0 will signal end-of-file to the library and cause it to stop the current transfer.
<p class="level1">If you stop the current transfer by returning 0 "pre-maturely" (i.e before the server expected it, like when you've told you will upload N bytes and you upload less than N bytes), you may experience that the server "hangs" waiting for the rest of the data that won't come.
<p class="level1">The read callback may return <span Class="emphasis">CURL_READFUNC_ABORT</span> to stop the current operation immediately, resulting in a <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK</span> error code from the transfer (Added in 7.12.1)
<p class="level1">From 7.18.0, the function can return CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE which then will cause reading from this connection to become paused. See <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_pause.html">curl_easy_pause(3)</a> for further details.
<p class="level1">If you set the callback pointer to NULL, or doesn't set it at all, the default internal read function will be used. It is simply doing an fread() on the FILE * stream set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADDATA">CURLOPT_READDATA</a>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTREADDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_READDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Data pointer to pass to the file read function. If you use the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADFUNCTION">CURLOPT_READFUNCTION</a> option, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you don't specify a read callback but instead rely on the default internal read function, this data must be a valid readable FILE *.
<p class="level1">If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADFUNCTION">CURLOPT_READFUNCTION</a> if you set this option.
<p class="level1">This option is also known with the older name <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_INFILE</span>, the name <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADDATA">CURLOPT_READDATA</a> was introduced in 7.9.7.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTIOCTLFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the <span Class="emphasis">curl_ioctl_callback</span> prototype found in <span Class="emphasis">&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</span>. This function gets called by libcurl when something special I/O-related needs to be done that the library can't do by itself. For now, rewinding the read data stream is the only action it can request. The rewinding of the read data stream may be necessary when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication method. (Option added in 7.12.3).
<p class="level1">Use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSEEKFUNCTION">CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION</a> instead to provide seeking!
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTIOCTLDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the 3rd argument in the ioctl callback set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTIOCTLFUNCTION">CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION</a>. (Option added in 7.12.3)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSEEKFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="emphasis">int function(void *instream, curl_off_t offset, int origin);</span> This function gets called by libcurl to seek to a certain position in the input stream and can be used to fast forward a file in a resumed upload (instead of reading all uploaded bytes with the normal read function/callback). It is also called to rewind a stream when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication method. The function shall work like "fseek" or "lseek" and accepted SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR and SEEK_END as argument for origin, although (in 7.18.0) libcurl only passes SEEK_SET. The callback must return 0 on success as returning something else will cause the upload operation to fail.
<p class="level1">If you forward the input arguments directly to "fseek" or "lseek", note that the data type for <span Class="emphasis">offset</span> is not the same as defined for curl_off_t on many systems! (Option added in 7.18.0)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSEEKDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SEEKDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Data pointer to pass to the file read function. If you use the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSEEKFUNCTION">CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION</a> option, this is the pointer you'll get as input. If you don't specify a seek callback, NULL is passed. (Option added in 7.18.0)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSOCKOPTFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the <span Class="emphasis">curl_sockopt_callback</span> prototype found in <span Class="emphasis">&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</span>. This function gets called by libcurl after the socket() call but before the connect() call. The callback's <span Class="emphasis">purpose</span> argument identifies the exact purpose for this particular socket, and currently only one value is supported: <span Class="emphasis">CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN</span> for the primary connection (meaning the control connection in the FTP case). Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. It passes the newly created socket descriptor so additional setsockopt() calls can be done at the user's discretion. A non-zero return code from the callback function will signal an unrecoverable error to the library and it will close the socket and return <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT</span>. (Option added in 7.15.6.)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSOCKOPTDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first argument in the sockopt callback set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSOCKOPTFUNCTION">CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION</a>. (Option added in 7.15.6.)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTOPENSOCKETFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the <span Class="emphasis">curl_opensocket_callback</span> prototype found in <span Class="emphasis">&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</span>. This function gets called by libcurl instead of the <span Class="emphasis">socket(2)</span> call. The callback's <span Class="emphasis">purpose</span> argument identifies the exact purpose for this particular socket, and currently only one value is supported: <span Class="emphasis">CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN</span> for the primary connection (meaning the control connection in the FTP case). Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. It passes the resolved peer address as a <span Class="emphasis">address</span> argument so the callback can modify the address or refuse to connect at all. The callback function should return the socket or <span Class="emphasis">CURL_SOCKET_BAD</span> in case no connection should be established or any error detected. Any additional <span Class="emphasis">setsockopt(2)</span> calls can be done on the socket at the user's discretion. <span Class="emphasis">CURL_SOCKET_BAD</span> return value from the callback function will signal an unrecoverable error to the library and it will return <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT</span>. This return code can be used for IP address blacklisting. The default behavior is:
<p class="level1">&nbsp; return socket(addr-&gt;family, addr-&gt;socktype, addr-&gt;protocol);
<p class="level1">(Option added in 7.17.1.)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTOPENSOCKETDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first argument in the opensocket callback set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTOPENSOCKETFUNCTION">CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION</a>. (Option added in 7.17.1.)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPROGRESSFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the <span Class="emphasis">curl_progress_callback</span> prototype found in <span Class="emphasis">&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</span>. This function gets called by libcurl instead of its internal equivalent with a frequent interval during operation (roughly once per second) no matter if data is being transfered or not. Unknown/unused argument values passed to the callback will be set to zero (like if you only download data, the upload size will remain 0). Returning a non-zero value from this callback will cause libcurl to abort the transfer and return <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK</span>.
<p class="level1">If you transfer data with the multi interface, this function will not be called during periods of idleness unless you call the appropriate libcurl function that performs transfers.
<p class="level1"><a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTNOPROGRESS">CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS</a> must be set to 0 to make this function actually get called.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPROGRESSDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer that will be untouched by libcurl and passed as the first argument in the progress callback set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPROGRESSFUNCTION">CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION</a>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTHEADERFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="emphasis">size_t function( void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream);</span>. This function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has received header data. The header callback will be called once for each header and only complete header lines are passed on to the callback. Parsing headers should be easy enough using this. The size of the data pointed to by <span Class="emphasis">ptr</span> is <span Class="emphasis">size</span> multiplied with <span Class="emphasis">nmemb</span>. Do not assume that the header line is zero terminated! The pointer named <span Class="emphasis">stream</span> is the one you set with the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEHEADER">CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER</a> option. The callback function must return the number of bytes actually taken care of, or return -1 to signal error to the library (it will cause it to abort the transfer with a <span Class="emphasis">CURLE_WRITE_ERROR</span> return code).
<p class="level1">If this option is not set, or if it is set to NULL, but <span Class="emphasis">CURLOPT_HEADERDATA</span> (<a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEHEADER">CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER</a>) is set to anything but NULL, the function used to accept response data will be used instead. That is, it will be the function specified with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTWRITEFUNCTION">CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION</a>, or if it is not specified or NULL - the default, stream-writing function.
<p class="level1">Since 7.14.1: When a server sends a chunked encoded transfer, it may contain a trailer. That trailer is identical to a HTTP header and if such a trailer is received it is passed to the application using this callback as well. There are several ways to detect it being a trailer and not an ordinary header: 1) it comes after the response-body. 2) it comes after the final header line (CR LF) 3) a Trailer: header among the response-headers mention what header to expect in the trailer.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTWRITEHEADER"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER</span>
<p class="level1">(This option is also known as <span Class="bold">CURLOPT_HEADERDATA</span>) Pass a pointer to be used to write the header part of the received data to. If you don't use your own callback to take care of the writing, this must be a valid FILE *. See also the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHEADERFUNCTION">CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION</a> option above on how to set a custom get-all-headers callback.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="emphasis">int curl_debug_callback (CURL *, curl_infotype, char *, size_t, void *);</span> <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a> replaces the standard debug function used when <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTVERBOSE">CURLOPT_VERBOSE </a> is in effect. This callback receives debug information, as specified with the <span Class="bold">curl_infotype</span> argument. This function must return 0. The data pointed to by the char * passed to this function WILL NOT be zero terminated, but will be exactly of the size as told by the size_t argument.
<p class="level1">Available curl_infotype values:
<p class="level2">

<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed in to your <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a> in the last void * argument. This pointer is not used by libcurl, it is only passed to the callback.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSSLCTXFUNCTION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION</span>
<p class="level1">This option does only function for libcurl powered by OpenSSL. If libcurl was built against another SSL library, this functionality is absent.
<p class="level1">Function pointer that should match the following prototype: <span class="bold">CURLcode sslctxfun(CURL *curl, void *sslctx, void *parm);</span> This function gets called by libcurl just before the initialization of an SSL connection after having processed all other SSL related options to give a last chance to an application to modify the behaviour of openssl's ssl initialization. The <span Class="emphasis">sslctx</span> parameter is actually a pointer to an openssl <span Class="emphasis">SSL_CTX</span>. If an error is returned no attempt to establish a connection is made and the perform operation will return the error code from this callback function. Set the <span Class="emphasis">parm</span> argument with the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSSLCTXDATA">CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA</a> option. This option was introduced in 7.11.0.
<p class="level1">This function will get called on all new connections made to a server, during the SSL negotiation. The SSL_CTX pointer will be a new one every time.
<p class="level1">To use this properly, a non-trivial amount of knowledge of the openssl libraries is necessary. Using this function allows for example to use openssl callbacks to add additional validation code for certificates, and even to change the actual URI of an HTTPS request (example used in the lib509 test case). See also the example section for a replacement of the key, certificate and trust file settings.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTSSLCTXDATA"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA</span>

<p class="level1">Function pointers that should match the following prototype: CURLcode function(char *ptr, size_t length);
<p class="level1">These three options apply to non-ASCII platforms only. They are available only if <span Class="bold">CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS</span> was defined when libcurl was built. When this is the case, <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_version_info.html">curl_version_info(3)</a> will return the CURL_VERSION_CONV feature bit set.
<p class="level1">The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. The amount of data to convert is indicated by the length parameter. The converted data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. CURLE_OK should be returned upon successful conversion. A CURLcode return value defined by curl.h, such as CURLE_CONV_FAILED, should be returned if an error was encountered.
<p class="level1"><a class="bold" href="#CURLOPTCONVTONETWORKFUNCTION">CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION</a> and <a class="bold" href="#CURLOPTCONVFROMNETWORKFUNCTION">CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_NETWORK_FUNCTION</a> convert between the host encoding and the network encoding.

<p class="level1"><a class="bold" href="#CURLOPTCONVFROMUTF8FUNCTION">CURLOPT_CONV_FROM_UTF8_FUNCTION</a> is called to convert from UTF8 into the host encoding. It is required only for SSL processing.
<p class="level1">If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the built-in libcurl iconv functions will be used. If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when libcurl was built, and no callback has been established, conversion will return the CURLE_CONV_REQD error code.

<p class="level1">Pass a char * to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error messages in. This may be more helpful than just the return code from <span Class="emphasis">curl_easy_perform</span>. The buffer must be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE big. Although this argument is a 'char *', it does not describe an input string. Therefore the (probably undefined) contents of the buffer is NOT copied by the library. You should keep the associated storage available until libcurl no longer needs it. Failing to do so will cause very odd behavior or even crashes. libcurl will need it until you call <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_cleanup.html">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</a> or you set the same option again to use a different pointer.
<p class="level1">Use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTVERBOSE">CURLOPT_VERBOSE</a> and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a> to better debug/trace why errors happen.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFAILONERROR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FAILONERROR</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to fail silently if the HTTP code returned is equal to or larger than 400. The default action would be to return the page normally, ignoring that code.
<p class="level1">This method is not fail-safe and there are occasions where non-successful response codes will slip through, especially when authentication is involved (response codes 401 and 407).
<p class="level1">You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is detected, like for when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards. <a name="NETWORK"></a><h2 class="nroffsh">NETWORK OPTIONS</h2>

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTURL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_URL</span>
<p class="level1">The actual URL to deal with. The parameter should be a char * to a zero terminated string.
<p class="level1">If the given URL lacks the protocol part ("http://" or "ftp://" etc), it will attempt to guess which protocol to use based on the given host name. If the given protocol of the set URL is not supported, libcurl will return on error (<span Class="emphasis">CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL</span>) when you call <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_perform.html">curl_easy_perform(3)</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_multi_perform.html">curl_multi_perform(3)</a>. Use <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_version_info.html">curl_version_info(3)</a> for detailed info on which protocols that are supported.
<p class="level1">The string given to CURLOPT_URL must be url-encoded and following the RFC 2396 (<a href="http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/rfc2396.txt">http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/rfc2396.txt</a>).
<p class="level1"><a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTURL">CURLOPT_URL</a> is the only option that <span Class="bold">must</span> be set before <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_perform.html">curl_easy_perform(3)</a> is called.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPROXY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PROXY</span>
<p class="level1">Set HTTP proxy to use. The parameter should be a char * to a zero terminated string holding the host name or dotted IP address. To specify port number in this string, append :[port] to the end of the host name. The proxy string may be prefixed with [protocol]:// since any such prefix will be ignored. The proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate option <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPROXYPORT">CURLOPT_PROXYPORT</a>.
<p class="level1">When you tell the library to use an HTTP proxy, libcurl will transparently convert operations to HTTP even if you specify an FTP URL etc. This may have an impact on what other features of the library you can use, such as <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTQUOTE">CURLOPT_QUOTE</a> and similar FTP specifics that don't work unless you tunnel through the HTTP proxy. Such tunneling is activated with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPPROXYTUNNEL">CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL</a>.
<p class="level1">libcurl respects the environment variables <span Class="bold">http_proxy</span>, <span Class="bold">ftp_proxy</span>, <span Class="bold">all_proxy</span> etc, if any of those is set. The <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPROXY">CURLOPT_PROXY</a> option does however override any possibly set environment variables.
<p class="level1">Setting the proxy string to "" (an empty string) will explicitly disable the use of a proxy, even if there is an environment variable set for it.
<p class="level1">Since 7.14.1, the proxy host string given in environment variables can be specified the exact same way as the proxy can be set with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPROXY">CURLOPT_PROXY</a>, include protocol prefix (http://) and embedded user + password.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPROXYPORT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PROXYPORT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long with this option to set the proxy port to connect to unless it is specified in the proxy string <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPROXY">CURLOPT_PROXY</a>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPROXYTYPE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long with this option to set type of the proxy. Available options for this are <span Class="emphasis">CURLPROXY_HTTP</span>, <span Class="emphasis">CURLPROXY_SOCKS4</span> (added in 7.15.2), <span Class="emphasis">CURLPROXY_SOCKS5</span>, <span Class="emphasis">CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A</span> (added in 7.18.0) and <span Class="emphasis">CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME</span> (added in 7.18.0). The HTTP type is default. (Added in 7.10)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTHTTPPROXYTUNNEL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL</span>
<p class="level1">Set the parameter to 1 to make the library tunnel all operations through a given HTTP proxy. There is a big difference between using a proxy and to tunnel through it. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't want this tunneling option.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTINTERFACE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_INTERFACE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a char * as parameter. This set the interface name to use as outgoing network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address or a host name.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTLOCALPORT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_LOCALPORT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. This sets the local port number of the socket used for connection. This can be used in combination with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTINTERFACE">CURLOPT_INTERFACE</a> and you are recommended to use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTLOCALPORTRANGE">CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE</a> as well when this is set. Note that port numbers are only valid 1 - 65535. (Added in 7.15.2)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTLOCALPORTRANGE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. This is the number of attempts libcurl should do to find a working local port number. It starts with the given <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTLOCALPORT">CURLOPT_LOCALPORT</a> and adds one to the number for each retry. Setting this to 1 or below will make libcurl do only one try for the exact port number. Note that port numbers by nature are scarce resources that will be busy at times so setting this value to something too low might cause unnecessary connection setup failures. (Added in 7.15.2)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTDNSCACHETIMEOUT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in memory for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely disable caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By default, libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds.
<p class="level1">NOTE: the name resolve functions of various libc implementations don't re-read name server information unless explicitly told so (by for example calling <span Class="emphasis">res_init(3)</span>. This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue to the casual libcurl-app user.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTDNSUSEGLOBALCACHE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not thread-safe and this will use a global variable.
<p class="level1"><span Class="bold">WARNING:</span> this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over to using the share interface instead! See <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSHARE">CURLOPT_SHARE</a> and <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_share_init.html">curl_share_init(3)</a>.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTBUFFERSIZE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long specifying your preferred size (in bytes) for the receive buffer in libcurl. The main point of this would be that the write callback gets called more often and with smaller chunks. This is just treated as a request, not an order. You cannot be guaranteed to actually get the given size. (Added in 7.10)
<p class="level1">This size is by default set as big as possible (CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE), so it only makes sense to use this option if you want it smaller.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPORT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_PORT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long specifying what remote port number to connect to, instead of the one specified in the URL or the default port for the used protocol.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTTCPNODELAY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long specifying whether the TCP_NODELAY option should be set or cleared (1 = set, 0 = clear). The option is cleared by default. This will have no effect after the connection has been established.
<p class="level1">Setting this option will disable TCP's Nagle algorithm. The purpose of this algorithm is to try to minimize the number of small packets on the network (where "small packets" means TCP segments less than the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) for the network).
<p class="level1">Maximizing the amount of data sent per TCP segment is good because it amortizes the overhead of the send. However, in some cases (most notably telnet or rlogin) small segments may need to be sent without delay. This is less efficient than sending larger amounts of data at a time, and can contribute to congestion on the network if overdone.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTADDRESSSCOPE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE</span>

<p class="level1"><a name="CURLNETRCOPTIONAL"></a><span class="nroffip">CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL</span>
<p class="level2">The use of your <span Class="emphasis">~/.netrc</span> file is optional, and information in the URL is to be preferred. The file will be scanned with the host and user name (to find the password only) or with the host only, to find the first user name and password after that <span Class="emphasis">machine</span>, which ever information is not specified in the URL.
<p class="level2">Undefined values of the option will have this effect.
<p class="level1"><a name="CURLNETRCIGNORED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURL_NETRC_IGNORED</span>
<p class="level2">The library will ignore the file and use only the information in the URL.
<p class="level2">This is the default.
<p class="level1"><a name="CURLNETRCREQUIRED"></a><span class="nroffip">CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED</span>
<p class="level2">This value tells the library that use of the file is required, to ignore the information in the URL, and to search the file with the host only.
<p class="level1">Only machine name, user name and password are taken into account (init macros and similar things aren't supported).
<p class="level1">libcurl does not verify that the file has the correct properties set (as the standard Unix ftp client does). It should only be readable by user.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTNETRCFILE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a zero terminated string containing the full path name to the file you want libcurl to use as .netrc file. If this option is omitted, and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTNETRC">CURLOPT_NETRC</a> is set, libcurl will attempt to find a .netrc file in the current user's home directory. (Added in 7.10.9)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTUSERPWD"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_USERPWD</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for the connection. Use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPAUTH">CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH</a> to decide authentication method.
<p class="level1">When using NTLM, you can set domain by prepending it to the user name and separating the domain and name with a forward (/) or backward slash (\). Like this: "domain/user:password" or "domain\user:password". Some HTTP servers (on Windows) support this style even for Basic authentication.
<p class="level1">When using HTTP and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION</a>, libcurl might perform several requests to possibly different hosts. libcurl will only send this user and password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTUNRESTRICTEDAUTH">CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH</a> is set), so if libcurl follows locations to other hosts it will not send the user and password to those. This is enforced to prevent accidental information leakage.

<p class="level1">Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl what authentication method(s) you want it to use. The available bits are listed below. If more than one bit is set, libcurl will first query the site to see what authentication methods it supports and then pick the best one you allow it to use.

<p class="level1">Sets the contents of the Accept-Encoding: header sent in an HTTP request, and enables decoding of a response when a Content-Encoding: header is received. Three encodings are supported: <span Class="emphasis">identity</span>, which does nothing, <span Class="emphasis">deflate</span> which requests the server to compress its response using the zlib algorithm, and <span Class="emphasis">gzip</span> which requests the gzip algorithm. If a zero-length string is set, then an Accept-Encoding: header containing all supported encodings is sent.
<p class="level1">This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not do it. This option must be set (to any non-NULL value) or else any unsolicited encoding done by the server is ignored. See the special file lib/README.encoding for details.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to follow any Location: header that the server sends as part of an HTTP header.
<p class="level1">This means that the library will re-send the same request on the new location and follow new Location: headers all the way until no more such headers are returned. <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTMAXREDIRS">CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS</a> can be used to limit the number of redirects libcurl will follow.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTUNRESTRICTEDAUTH"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library it can continue to send authentication (user+password) when following locations, even when hostname changed. This option is meaningful only when setting <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION</a>.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPOSTREDIR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_POSTREDIR</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to respect RFC 2616/10.3.2 and not convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection. The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may requires a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only when setting <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION">CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION</a>. (Added in 7.17.1) (This option was known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0)

<p class="level1">Use one of <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDS">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTCOPYPOSTFIELDS">CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS</a> options to specify what data to post and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDSIZE">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDSIZELARGE">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE</a> to set the data size.
<p class="level1">Optionally, you can provide data to POST using the <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADFUNCTION">CURLOPT_READFUNCTION</a> and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTREADDATA">CURLOPT_READDATA</a> options but then you must make sure to not set <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDS">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS</a> to anything but NULL.

<p class="level1">You can override the default POST Content-Type: header by setting your own with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a>.
<p class="level1">Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. You can disable this header with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a> as usual.
<p class="level1">If you use POST to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can send data without knowing the size before starting the POST if you use chunked encoding. You enable this by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a>. With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer, you must specify the size in the request.
<p class="level1">When setting <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOST">CURLOPT_POST</a> to 1, it will automatically set <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTNOBODY">CURLOPT_NOBODY</a> to 0 (since 7.14.1).
<p class="level1">If you issue a POST request and then want to make a HEAD or GET using the same re-used handle, you must explicitly set the new request type using <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTNOBODY">CURLOPT_NOBODY</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPGET">CURLOPT_HTTPGET</a> or similar.

Take note.
<p class="level1">The pointed data are NOT copied by the library: as a consequence, they must be preserved by the calling application until the transfer finishes.
<p class="level1">This POST is a normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind (and libcurl will set that Content-Type by default when this option is used), which is the most commonly used one by HTML forms.

Pass a pointer to a linked list of curl_httppost structs as parameter. . The easiest way to create such a list, is to use <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_formadd.html">curl_formadd(3)</a> as documented.

If you add a header that is otherwise generated and used by libcurl internally, your added one will be used instead. If you add a header with no contents as in 'Accept:' (no data on the right side of the colon), the internally used header will get disabled. Thus, using this option you can add new headers, replace internal headers and remove internal headers. To add a header with no contents, make the contents be two quotes: "". The headers included in the linked list must not be CRLF-terminated, because curl adds CRLF after each header item. Failure to comply with this will result in strange bugs because the server will most likely ignore part of the headers you specified.
<p class="level1">The first line in a request (containing the method, usually a GET or POST) is not a header and cannot be replaced using this option. Only the lines following the request-line are headers. Adding this method line in this list of headers will only cause your request to send an invalid header.
<p class="level1">Pass a NULL to this to reset back to no custom headers.

<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a linked list of aliases to be treated as valid HTTP 200 responses. Some servers respond with a custom header response line. For example, IceCast servers respond with "ICY 200 OK". By including this string in your list of aliases, the response will be treated as a valid HTTP header line such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK". (Added in 7.10.3)
<p class="level1">The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs, and be properly filled in.

<p class="level1">The alias itself is not parsed for any version strings. Before libcurl 7.16.3, Libcurl used the value set by option <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPVERSION">CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION</a>, but starting with 7.16.3 the protocol is assumed to match HTTP 1.0 when an alias matched.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCOOKIE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_COOKIE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to set a cookie in the http request. The format of the string should be NAME=CONTENTS, where NAME is the cookie name and CONTENTS is what the cookie should contain.
<p class="level1">If you need to set multiple cookies, you need to set them all using a single option and thus you need to concatenate them all in one single string. Set multiple cookies in one string like this: "name1=content1; name2=content2;" etc.
<p class="level1">Note that this option sets the cookie header explictly in the outgoing request(s). If multiple requests are done due to authentication, followed redirections or similar, they will all get this cookie passed on.
<p class="level1">Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the previous ones.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCOOKIEFILE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It should contain the name of your file holding cookie data to read. The cookie data may be in Netscape / Mozilla cookie data format or just regular HTTP-style headers dumped to a file.
<p class="level1">Given an empty or non-existing file or by passing the empty string (""), this option will enable cookies for this curl handle, making it understand and parse received cookies and then use matching cookies in future request.
<p class="level1">If you use this option multiple times, you just add more files to read. Subsequent files will add more cookies.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCOOKIEJAR"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a file name as char *, zero terminated. This will make libcurl write all internally known cookies to the specified file when <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_cleanup.html">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</a> is called. If no cookies are known, no file will be created. Specify "-" to instead have the cookies written to stdout. Using this option also enables cookies for this session, so if you for example follow a location it will make matching cookies get sent accordingly.
<p class="level1">If the cookie jar file can't be created or written to (when the <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_cleanup.html">curl_easy_cleanup(3)</a> is called), libcurl will not and cannot report an error for this. Using <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTVERBOSE">CURLOPT_VERBOSE</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTDEBUGFUNCTION">CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION</a> will get a warning to display, but that is the only visible feedback you get about this possibly lethal situation.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCOOKIESESSION"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long set to 1 to mark this as a new cookie "session". It will force libcurl to ignore all cookies it is about to load that are "session cookies" from the previous session. By default, libcurl always stores and loads all cookies, independent if they are session cookies are not. Session cookies are cookies without expiry date and they are meant to be alive and existing for this "session" only.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCOOKIELIST"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_COOKIELIST</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a char * to a cookie string. Cookie can be either in Netscape / Mozilla format or just regular HTTP-style header (Set-Cookie: ...) format. If cURL cookie engine was not enabled it will enable its cookie engine. Passing a magic string "ALL" will erase all cookies known by cURL. (Added in 7.14.1) Passing the special string "SESS" will only erase all session cookies known by cURL.

<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to get the IP address to use for the ftp PORT instruction. The PORT instruction tells the remote server to connect to our specified IP address. The string may be a plain IP address, a host name, an network interface name (under Unix) or just a '-' letter to let the library use your systems default IP address. Default FTP operations are passive, and thus won't use PORT.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTQUOTE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_QUOTE</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server prior to your ftp request. This will be done before any other commands are issued (even before the CWD command for FTP). The linked list should be a fully valid list of 'struct curl_slist' structs properly filled in with text strings. Use <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_slist_append.html">curl_slist_append(3)</a> to append strings (commands) to the list, and clear the entire list afterwards with <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_slist_free_all.html">curl_slist_free_all(3)</a>. Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this option. The set of valid FTP commands depends on the server (see RFC959 for a list of mandatory commands). The valid SFTP commands are: chgrp, chmod, chown, ln, mkdir, pwd, rename, rm, rmdir, symlink (see <span Class="manpage">curl (1))</span> (SFTP support added in 7.16.3)
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTPOSTQUOTE"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE</span>

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTDIRLISTONLY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to just list the names of files in a directory, instead of doing a full directory listing that would include file sizes, dates etc. This works for FTP and SFTP URLs.
<p class="level1">This causes an FTP NLST command to be sent on an FTP server. Beware that some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might not include subdirectories and symbolic links.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFTPUSEEPRT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPRT (and LPRT) command when doing active FTP downloads (which is enabled by <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTFTPPORT">CURLOPT_FTPPORT</a>). Using EPRT means that it will first attempt to use EPRT and then LPRT before using PORT, but if you pass zero to this option, it will not try using EPRT or LPRT, only plain PORT. (Added in 7.10.5)
<p class="level1">If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as of 7.12.3.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFTPUSEEPSV"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPSV command when doing passive FTP downloads (which it always does by default). Using EPSV means that it will first attempt to use EPSV before using PASV, but if you pass zero to this option, it will not try using EPSV, only plain PASV.
<p class="level1">If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as of 7.12.3.
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFTPCREATEMISSINGDIRS"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If the value is 1, curl will attempt to create any remote directory that it fails to CWD into. CWD is the command that changes working directory. (Added in 7.10.7)
<p class="level1">This setting also applies to SFTP-connections. curl will attempt to create the remote directory if it can't obtain a handle to the target-location.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFTPRESPONSETIMEOUT"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. Causes curl to set a timeout period (in seconds) on the amount of time that the server is allowed to take in order to generate a response message for a command before the session is considered hung. While curl is waiting for a response, this value overrides <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTTIMEOUT">CURLOPT_TIMEOUT</a>. It is recommended that if used in conjunction with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTTIMEOUT">CURLOPT_TIMEOUT</a>, you set <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTFTPRESPONSETIMEOUT">CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT</a> to a value smaller than <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTTIMEOUT">CURLOPT_TIMEOUT</a>.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFTPSKIPPASVIP"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If set to 1, it instructs libcurl to not use the IP address the server suggests in its 227-response to libcurl's PASV command when libcurl connects the data connection. Instead libcurl will re-use the same IP address it already uses for the control connection. But it will use the port number from the 227-response. (Added in 7.14.2)
<p class="level1">This option has no effect if PORT, EPRT or EPSV is used instead of PASV.

Set this option to 0 to make the transfer start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this option to -1 to make the transfer start from the end of the target file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTCUSTOMREQUEST"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used instead of GET or HEAD when doing an HTTP request, or instead of LIST or NLST when doing an ftp directory listing. This is useful for doing DELETE or other more or less obscure HTTP requests. Don't do this at will, make sure your server supports the command first.
<p class="level1">Note that libcurl will still act and assume the keyword it would use if you didn't set your custom one is the one in use and it will act according to that. Thus, changing this to a HEAD when libcurl otherwise would do a GET might cause libcurl to act funny, and similar. To switch to a proper HEAD, use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTNOBODY">CURLOPT_NOBODY</a>, to switch to a proper POST, use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOST">CURLOPT_POST</a> or <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDS">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS</a> and so on.
<p class="level1">Restore to the internal default by setting this to NULL.
<p class="level1">Many people have wrongly used this option to replace the entire request with their own, including multiple headers and POST contents. While that might work in many cases, it will cause libcurl to send invalid requests and it could possibly confuse the remote server badly. Use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOST">CURLOPT_POST</a> and <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOSTFIELDS">CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS</a> to set POST data. Use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a> to replace or extend the set of headers sent by libcurl.

<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTFILETIME"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_FILETIME</span>
<p class="level1">Pass a long. If it is 1, libcurl will attempt to get the modification date of the remote document in this operation. This requires that the remote server sends the time or replies to a time querying command. The <a class="emphasis" href="./curl_easy_getinfo.html">curl_easy_getinfo(3)</a> function with the <span Class="emphasis">CURLINFO_FILETIME</span> argument can be used after a transfer to extract the received time (if any).
<p class="level0"><a name="CURLOPTNOBODY"></a><span class="nroffip">CURLOPT_NOBODY</span>
<p class="level1">A parameter set to 1 tells the library to not include the body-part in the output. This is only relevant for protocols that have separate header and body parts. On HTTP(S) servers, this will make libcurl do a HEAD request.
<p class="level1">To change request to GET, you should use <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPGET">CURLOPT_HTTPGET</a>. Change request to POST with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTPOST">CURLOPT_POST</a> etc.

If the protocol is HTTP, uploading means using the PUT request unless you tell libcurl otherwise.
<p class="level1">Using PUT with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. You can disable this header with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a> as usual.
<p class="level1">If you use PUT to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can upload data without knowing the size before starting the transfer if you use chunked encoding. You enable this by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTHTTPHEADER">CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER</a>.

Normally, name lookups can take a considerable time and limiting operations to less than a few minutes risk aborting perfectly normal operations. This option will cause curl to use the SIGALRM to enable time-outing system calls.

The set amount will be the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections that libcurl may cache in this easy handle. Default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this work and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connection using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
<p class="level1">When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent the number of open connections to increase.
<p class="level1">If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a smaller MAXCONNECTS than before may cause open connections to get closed unnecessarily.

<p class="level1">This option determines whether curl verifies the authenticity of the peer's certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; zero means it doesn't. The default is nonzero, but before 7.10, it was zero.
<p class="level1">When negotiating an SSL connection, the server sends a certificate indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate is authentic, i.e. that you can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is. This trust is based on a chain of digital signatures, rooted in certification authority (CA) certificates you supply.

<p class="level1">When <a class="emphasis" href="#CURLOPTSSLVERIFYPEER">CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER</a> is nonzero, and the verification fails to prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails. When the option is zero, the connection succeeds regardless.
<p class="level1">Authenticating the certificate is not by itself very useful.

<p class="level1">For NSS valid examples of cipher lists include 'rsa_rc4_128_md5', &acute;rsa_aes_128_sha&acute;, etc. With NSS you don't add/remove ciphers. If one uses this option then all known ciphers are disabled and only those passed in are enabled.

<p class="level1">Pass a long set to 0 to disable libcurl's use of SSL session-ID caching. Set this to 1 to enable it. By default all transfers are done using the cache. Note that while nothing ever should get hurt by attempting to reuse SSL session-IDs, there seem to be broken SSL implementations in the wild that may require you to disable this in order for you to succeed.

<p class="level1">Pass a char * as parameter. Set the kerberos security level for FTP; this also enables kerberos awareness. This is a string, 'clear', 'safe', 'confidential' or 'private'. If the string is set but doesn't match one of these, 'private' will be used. Set the string to NULL to disable kerberos support for FTP.

.B #include <curl/curl.h>

.BI "char *curl_easy_unescape( CURL *" curl ", char *" url ", int "inlength

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string"
and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input characters that are
URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to
their binary versions.
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP
will use strlen() on the input \fIurl\fP string to find out the size.
If \fBoutlength\fP is non-NULL, the function will write the length of the
returned string in the integer it points to. This allows an escaped string
containing %00 to still get used properly after unescaping.
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_unescape(3)\fP function.
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.

curl_escape - URL encodes the given string
.SH SYNOPSIS

.sp
.BI "char *curl_escape( char *" url ", int "length " );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Obsolete function. Use \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP instead!
This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and
return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the
input 'url' string to find out the size.
You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it.
.SH AVAILABILITY
Since 7.15.4, \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP should be used. This function will
be removed in a future release.

.TH curl_formadd 3 "24 June 2002" "libcurl 7.9.8" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_formadd - add a section to a multipart/formdata HTTP POST
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLFORMcode curl_formadd(struct curl_httppost ** " firstitem,
.BI "struct curl_httppost ** " lastitem, " ...);"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_formadd() is used to append sections when building a multipart/formdata
HTTP POST (sometimes referred to as rfc1867-style posts). Append one section at
a time until you've added all the sections you want included and then you pass
the \fIfirstitem\fP pointer as parameter to \fBCURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP.
\fIlastitem\fP is set after each call and on repeated invokes it should be
left as set to allow repeated invokes to find the end of the list faster.
After the \fIlastitem\fP pointer follow the real arguments.
The pointers \fI*firstitem\fP and \fI*lastitem\fP should both be pointing to
NULL in the first call to this function. All list-data will be allocated by
the function itself. You must call \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP after the form post
has been done to free the resources.
Using POST with HTTP 1.1 implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header.
You can disable this header with \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP as usual.
First, there are some basics you need to understand about multipart/formdata
posts. Each part consists of at least a NAME and a CONTENTS part. If the part
is made for file upload, there are also a stored CONTENT-TYPE and a FILENAME.
Below, we'll discuss what options you use to set these properties in the
parts you want to add to your post.
The options listed first are for making normal parts. The options from
\fICURLFORM_FILE\fP through \fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP are for file upload
parts.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP CURLFORM_COPYNAME
followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl
copies the string so your application doesn't need to keep it around after
this function call. If the name isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd
like it to contain zero bytes, you must set its length with
\fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP. The copied data will be freed by
\fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP.
.IP CURLFORM_PTRNAME
followed by a string which provides the \fIname\fP of this part. libcurl
will use the pointer and refer to the data in your application, so you
must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it. If the name
isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero
bytes, you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_NAMELENGTH\fP.
.IP CURLFORM_COPYCONTENTS
followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data
to send away. libcurl copies the provided data, so your application doesn't
need to keep it around after this function call. If the data isn't null
terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes, you must
set the length of the name with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP. The copied
data will be freed by \fIcurl_formfree(3)\fP.
.IP CURLFORM_PTRCONTENTS
followed by a pointer to the contents of this part, the actual data
to send away. libcurl will use the pointer and refer to the data in your
application, so you must make sure it remains until curl no longer needs it.
If the data isn't NUL-terminated, or if you'd like it to contain zero bytes,
you must set its length with \fBCURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH\fP.
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH
followed by a long giving the length of the contents. Note that for
\fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP contents, this option is mandatory.
.IP CURLFORM_FILECONTENT
followed by a filename, causes that file to be read and its contents used
as data in this part. This part does \fInot\fP automatically become a file
upload part simply because its data was read from a file.
.IP CURLFORM_FILE
followed by a filename, makes this part a file upload part. It sets the
\fIfilename\fP field to the basename of the provided filename, it reads the
contents of the file and passes them as data and sets the content-type if the
given file match one of the internally known file extensions. For
\fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP the user may send one or more files in one part by
providing multiple \fBCURLFORM_FILE\fP arguments each followed by the filename
(and each \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP is allowed to have a
\fICURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE\fP).
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTTYPE
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a
string which provides the content-type for this part, possibly instead of an
internally chosen one.
.IP CURLFORM_FILENAME
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. Followed by a pointer to a
string, it tells libcurl to use the given string as the \fIfilename\fP in the
file upload part instead of the actual file name.
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFER
is used for custom file upload parts without use of \fICURLFORM_FILE\fP. It
tells libcurl that the file contents are already present in a buffer. The
parameter is a string which provides the \fIfilename\fP field in the content
header.
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a pointer
to the buffer to be uploaded. This buffer must not be freed until after
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP is called. You must also use
\fICURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH\fP to set the number of bytes in the buffer.
.IP CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH
is used in combination with \fICURLFORM_BUFFER\fP. The parameter is a
long which gives the length of the buffer.
.IP CURLFORM_STREAM
Tells libcurl to use the \fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION\fP callback to get data. The
parameter you pass to \fICURLFORM_STREAM\fP is the pointer passed on to the
read callback's fourth argument. If you want the part to look like a file
upload one, set the \fICURLFORM_FILENAME\fP parameter as well. (Option added
in libcurl 7.18.2)
.IP CURLFORM_ARRAY
Another possibility to send options to curl_formadd() is the
\fBCURLFORM_ARRAY\fP option, that passes a struct curl_forms array pointer as
its value. Each curl_forms structure element has a CURLformoption and a char
pointer. The final element in the array must be a CURLFORM_END. All available
options can be used in an array, except the CURLFORM_ARRAY option itself! The
last argument in such an array must always be \fBCURLFORM_END\fP.
.IP CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER
specifies extra headers for the form POST section. This takes a curl_slist
prepared in the usual way using \fBcurl_slist_append\fP and appends the list
of headers to those libcurl automatically generates. The list must exist while
the POST occurs, if you free it before the post completes you may experience
problems.
When you've passed the HttpPost pointer to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP (using
the \fICURLOPT_HTTPPOST\fP option), you must not free the list until after
you've called \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP for the curl handle.
See example below.
.SH RETURN VALUE
0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred corresponding
to a CURL_FORMADD_* constant defined in
.I <curl/curl.h>

.TH curl_formget 3 "20 June 2006" "libcurl 7.15.5" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_formget - serialize a previously build multipart/formdata HTTP POST chain
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "void curl_formget(struct curl_httppost *" form, " void *" arg,
.BI " curl_formget_callback " append ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_formget() is used to serialize data previously built/appended with
\fIcurl_formadd(3)\fP. Accepts a void pointer as second argument which will be
passed to the curl_formget_callback function.
.BI "typedef size_t (*curl_formget_callback)(void *" arg, " const char *" buf,
.BI " size_t " len ");"
.nf
The curl_formget_callback will be executed for each part of the HTTP POST
chain. The void *arg pointer will be the one passed as second argument to
curl_formget(). The character buffer passed to it must not be freed. The
callback should return the buffer length passed to it on success.
.SH RETURN VALUE
0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
size_t print_httppost_callback(void *arg, const char *buf, size_t len)
{
fwrite(buf, len, 1, stdout);
(*(size_t *) arg) += len;
return len;
}

.TH curl_getdate 3 "12 Aug 2005" "libcurl 7.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_getdate - Convert an date string to number of seconds since January 1,
1970
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "time_t curl_getdate(char *" datestring ", time_t *"now " );"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function returns the number of seconds since January 1st 1970 in the UTC
time zone, for the date and time that the \fIdatestring\fP parameter
specifies. The \fInow\fP parameter is not used, pass a NULL there.
\fBNOTE:\fP This function was rewritten for the 7.12.2 release and this
documentation covers the functionality of the new one. The new one is not
feature-complete with the old one, but most of the formats supported by the
new one was supported by the old too.
.SH PARSING DATES AND TIMES
A "date" is a string containing several items separated by whitespace. The
order of the items is immaterial. A date string may contain many flavors of
items:
.TP 0.8i
.B calendar date items
Can be specified several ways. Month names can only be three-letter english
abbrivations, numbers can be zero-prefixed and the year may use 2 or 4 digits.
Examples: 06 Nov 1994, 06-Nov-94 and Nov-94 6.
.TP
.B time of the day items
This string specifies the time on a given day. You must specify it with 6
digits with two colons: HH:MM:SS. To not include the time in a date string,
will make the function assume 00:00:00. Example: 18:19:21.
.TP
.B time zone items
Specifies international time zone. There are a few acronyms supported, but in
general you should instead use the specific relative time compared to
UTC. Supported formats include: -1200, MST, +0100.
.TP
.B day of the week items
Specifies a day of the week. Days of the week may be spelled out in full
(using english): `Sunday', `Monday', etc or they may be abbreviated to their
first three letters. This is usually not info that adds anything.
.TP
.B pure numbers
If a decimal number of the form YYYYMMDD appears, then YYYY is read as the
year, MM as the month number and DD as the day of the month, for the specified
calendar date.

.SH STANDARDS
This parser was written to handle date formats specified in RFC 822 (including
the update in RFC 1123) using time zone name or time zone delta and RFC 850
(obsoleted by RFC 1036) and ANSI C's asctime() format. These formats are the
only ones RFC2616 says HTTP applications may use.
.SH RETURN VALUE
This function returns -1 when it fails to parse the date string. Otherwise it
returns the number of seconds as described.
If the year is larger than 2037 on systems with 32 bit time_t, this function
will return 0x7fffffff (since that is the largest possible signed 32 bit
number).
Having a 64 bit time_t is not a guarantee that dates beyond 03:14:07 UTC,
January 19, 2038 will work fine. On systems with a 64 bit time_t but with a
crippled mktime(), \fIcurl_getdate\fP will return -1 in this case.
.SH REWRITE
The former version of this function was built with yacc and was not only very
large, it was also never quite understood and it wasn't possible to build with
non-GNU tools since only GNU Bison could make it thread-safe!
The rewrite was done for 7.12.2. The new one is much smaller and use simpler
code.

.SH NAME
curl_getenv - return value for environment name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "char *curl_getenv(const char *" name ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_getenv() is a portable wrapper for the getenv() function, meant to
emulate its behaviour and provide an identical interface for all operating
systems libcurl builds on (including win32).
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near future. It
will instead be made "available" by source code access only, and then as
curlx_getenv().
.SH RETURN VALUE
If successful, curl_getenv() returns a pointer to the value of the specified
environment. The memory it refers to is malloc()ed so the application must
free() this when the data is no longer needed. When \fIcurl_getenv(3)\fP fails
to find the specified name, it returns a null pointer.
.SH NOTE
Under unix operating systems, there isn't any point in returning an allocated
memory, although other systems won't work properly if this isn't done. The
unix implementation thus have to suffer slightly from the drawbacks of other
systems.

.SH NAME
curl_global_cleanup - global libcurl cleanup
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "void curl_global_cleanup(void);"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function releases resources acquired by \fBcurl_global_init(3)\fP.
You should call \fIcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP once for each call you make to
\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP, after you are done using libcurl.
\fBThis function is not thread safe.\fP You must not call it when any other
thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is running.

.TH curl_global_init 3 "11 May 2004" "libcurl 7.12" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_global_init(long " flags ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function sets up the program environment that libcurl needs. Think of it
as an extension of the library loader.
This function must be called at least once within a program (a program is all
the code that shares a memory space) before the program calls any other
function in libcurl. The environment it sets up is constant for the life of
the program and is the same for every program, so multiple calls have the same
effect as one call.
The flags option is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exactly what features to
init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the values together.
In normal operation, you must specify CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. Don't use any other
value unless you are familiar with and mean to control internal operations of
libcurl.
\fBThis function is not thread safe.\fP You must not call it when any other
thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is running.
This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using libcurl. Because
\fIcurl_global_init()\fP calls functions of other libraries that are similarly
thread unsafe, it could conflict with any other thread that uses these other
libraries.
See the description in \fBlibcurl\fP(3) of global environment requirements for
details of how to use this function.

.SH NAME
curl_global_init_mem - Global libcurl initialisation with memory callbacks
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.nf
.B "CURLcode curl_global_init_mem(long " flags,
.B " curl_malloc_callback "m,
.B " curl_free_callback "f,
.B " curl_realloc_callback "r,
.B " curl_strdup_callback "s,
.B " curl_calloc_callback "c ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function works exactly as \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP with one addition: it
allows the application to set callbacks to replace the otherwise used internal
memory functions.
This man page only adds documentation for the callbacks, see the
\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP man page for all the rest. When you use this
function, all callback arguments must be set to valid function pointers.
The prototypes for the given callbacks should match these:
.IP "void *malloc_callback(size_t size);"
To replace malloc()
.IP "void free_callback(void *ptr);"
To replace free()
.IP "void *realloc_callback(void *ptr, size_t size);"
To replace realloc()
.IP "char *strdup_callback(const char *str);"
To replace strdup()
.IP "void *calloc_callback(size_t nmemb, size_t size);"
To replace calloc()
.SH "CAUTION"
Manipulating these gives considerable powers to the application to severly
screw things up for libcurl. Take care!

.SH DESCRIPTION
These are all functions that produces output according to a format string and
given arguments. These are mostly clones of the well-known C-style functions
and there will be no detailed explanation of all available formatting rules
and usage here.
See this table for notable exceptions.
.RS
.TP
.B curl_mprintf()
Normal printf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mfprintf()
Normal fprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_msprintf()
Normal sprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_msnprintf()
snprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like \fBsprintf\fP
but with an extra argument after the buffer that specifies the length of the
target buffer.
.TP
.B curl_mvprintf()
Normal vprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvfprintf()
Normal vfprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvsprintf()
Normal vsprintf() clone.
.TP
.B curl_mvsnprintf()
vsnprintf() clone. Many systems don't have this. It is just like
\fBvsprintf\fP but with an extra argument after the buffer that specifies the
length of the target buffer.
.TP
.B curl_maprintf()
Like printf() but returns the output string as a malloc()ed string. The
returned string must be free()ed by the receiver.
.TP
.B curl_mvaprintf()
Like curl_maprintf() but takes a va_list pointer argument instead of a
variable amount of arguments.
.RE
To easily use all these cloned functions instead of the normal ones, #define
_MPRINTF_REPLACE before you include the <curl/mprintf.h> file. Then all the
normal names like printf, fprintf, sprintf etc will use the curl-functions
instead.
.SH AVAILABILITY
These function will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near
future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access only, and
then as curlx_-prefixed functions. See lib/README.curlx for further details.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The \fBcurl_maprintf\fP and \fBcurl_mvaprintf\fP functions return a pointer to
a newly allocated string, or NULL it it failed.
All other functions return the number of character they actually outputed.

curl_multi_add_handle - add an easy handle to a multi session
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_add_handle(CURLM *multi_handle, CURL *easy_handle);
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Adds a standard easy handle to the multi stack. This function call will make
this \fImulti_handle\fP control the specified \fIeasy_handle\fP.
Furthermore, libcurl now initiates the connection associated with the
specified \fIeasy_handle\fP.
When an easy handle has been added to a multi stack, you can not and you must
not use \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP on that handle!
If the easy handle is not set to use a shared (CURLOPT_SHARE) or global DNS
cache (CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE), it will be made to use the DNS cache
that is shared between all easy handles within the multi handle when
\fIcurl_multi_add_handle(3)\fP is called.
The easy handle will remain added until you remove it again with
\fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP. You should remove the easy handle from the
multi stack before you terminate first the easy handle and then the multi
handle:
1 - \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP
2 - \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP
3 - \fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP

.TH curl_multi_assign 3 "9 Jul 2006" "libcurl 7.16.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_multi_assign \- set data to associated with an internal socket
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_assign(CURLM *multi_handle, curl_socket_t sockfd,
void *sockptr);
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function assigns an association in the multi handle between the given
socket and a private pointer of the application. This is (only) useful for
\fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP uses.
When set, the \fIsockptr\fP pointer will be passed to all future socket
callbacks for the specific \fIsockfd\fP socket.
If the given \fIsockfd\fP isn't already in use by libcurl, this function will
return an error.
libcurl only keeps one single pointer associated with a socket, so calling
this function several times for the same socket will make the last set pointer
get used.
The idea here being that this association (socket to private pointer) is
something that just about every application that uses this API will need and
then libcurl can just as well do it since it already has an internal hash
table lookup for this.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The standard CURLMcode for multi interface error codes.
.SH "TYPICAL USAGE"
In a typical application you allocate a struct or at least use some kind of
semi-dynamic data for each socket that we must wait for action on when using
the \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP approach.
When our socket-callback get called by libcurl and we get to know about yet
another socket to wait for, we can use \fIcurl_multi_assign(3)\fP to point out
the particular data so that when we get updates about this same socket again,
we don't have to find the struct associated with this socket by ourselves.
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.15.5, although not deemed stable yet.

curl_multi_fdset - extracts file descriptor information from a multi handle
.SH SYNOPSIS

.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function extracts file descriptor information from a given multi_handle.
libcurl returns its fd_set sets. The application can use these to select() on,
but be sure to FD_ZERO them before calling this function as
\fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP only adds its own descriptors it doesn't zero or
otherwise remove any other. The \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP function should be
called as soon as one of them are ready to be read from or written to.
If no file descriptors are set by libcurl, \fImax_fd\fP will contain -1 when
this function returns. Otherwise it will contain the higher descriptor number
libcurl set.
You should also be aware that when doing select(), you should consider using a
rather small (single-digit number of seconds) timeout and call
\fIcurl_multi_perform\fP regularly - even if no activity has been seen on the
fd_sets - as otherwise libcurl-internal retries and timeouts may not work as
you'd think and want.
Starting with libcurl 7.16.0, you should use \fBcurl_multi_timeout\fP to
figure out how long to wait for action.

CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code. See

curl_multi_info_read - read multi stack informationals
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMsg *curl_multi_info_read( CURLM *multi_handle,
int *msgs_in_queue);
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Ask the multi handle if there are any messages/informationals from the
individual transfers. Messages may include informationals such as an error
code from the transfer or just the fact that a transfer is completed. More
details on these should be written down as well.
Repeated calls to this function will return a new struct each time, until a
NULL is returned as a signal that there is no more to get at this point. The
integer pointed to with \fImsgs_in_queue\fP will contain the number of
remaining messages after this function was called.
When you fetch a message using this function, it is removed from the internal
queue so calling this function again will not return the same message
again. It will instead return new messages at each new invoke until the queue
is emptied.
\fBWARNING:\fP The data the returned pointer points to will not survive
calling \fIcurl_multi_cleanup(3)\fP, \fIcurl_multi_remove_handle(3)\fP or
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP.
The 'CURLMsg' struct is very simple and only contain very basic information.
If more involved information is wanted, the particular "easy handle" in
present in that struct and can thus be used in subsequent regular
\fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP calls (or similar):
.NF
struct CURLMsg {
CURLMSG msg; /* what this message means */
CURL *easy_handle; /* the handle it concerns */
union {
void *whatever; /* message-specific data */
CURLcode result; /* return code for transfer */
} data;
};
When \fBmsg\fP is \fICURLMSG_DONE\fP, the message identifies a transfer that
is done, and then \fBresult\fP contains the return code for the easy handle
that just completed.
At this point, there is no other \fBmsg\fP types defined.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
A pointer to a filled-in struct, or NULL if it failed or ran out of
structs. It also writes the number of messages left in the queue (after this
read) in the integer the second argument points to.

.TH curl_multi_perform 3 "1 March 2002" "libcurl 7.9.5" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_multi_perform - reads/writes available data from each easy handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_perform(CURLM *multi_handle, int *running_handles);
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
When the app thinks there's data available for the multi_handle, it should
call this function to read/write whatever there is to read or write right
now. curl_multi_perform() returns as soon as the reads/writes are done. This
function does not require that there actually is any data available for
reading or that data can be written, it can be called just in case. It will
write the number of handles that still transfer data in the second argument's
integer-pointer.
When you call curl_multi_perform() and the amount of \fIrunning_handles\fP is
changed from the previous call (or is less than the amount of easy handles
you've added to the multi handle), you know that there is one or more
transfers less "running". You can then call \fIcurl_multi_info_read(3)\fP to
get information about each individual completed transfer, and that returned
info includes CURLcode and more.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
If you receive \fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM\fP, this basically means that you
should call \fIcurl_multi_perform\fP again, before you select() on more
actions. You don't have to do it immediately, but the return code means that
libcurl may have more data available to return or that there may be more data
to send off before it is "satisfied". Do note that \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP
will return \fICURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM\fP only when it wants to be called
again \fBimmediately\fP. When things are fine and there are nothing immediate
it wants done, it'll return \fICURLM_OK\fP and you need to wait for \&"action"
and then call this function again.
NOTE that this only returns errors etc regarding the whole multi stack. There
might still have occurred problems on individual transfers even when this
function returns \fICURLM_OK\fP.
.SH "TYPICAL USAGE"
Most applications will use \fIcurl_multi_fdset(3)\fP to get the multi_handle's
file descriptors, then it'll wait for action on them using \fBselect(3)\fP and
as soon as one or more of them are ready, \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP gets
called.

.TH curl_multi_setopt 3 "10 Oct 2006" "libcurl 7.16.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_multi_setopt \- set options for a curl multi handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM * multi_handle, CURLMoption option, param);
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_multi_setopt() is used to tell a libcurl multi handle how to behave. By
using the appropriate options to \fIcurl_multi_setopt(3)\fP, you can change
libcurl's behaviour when using that multi handle. All options are set with
the \fIoption\fP followed by the parameter \fIparam\fP. That parameter can be
a \fBlong\fP, a \fBfunction pointer\fP, an \fBobject pointer\fP or a
\fBcurl_off_t\fP type, depending on what the specific option expects. Read
this manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl to behave badly!
You can only set one option in each function call.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION
Pass a pointer to a function matching the \fBcurl_socket_callback\fP
prototype. The \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP functions inform the application
about updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing none, one or
multiple calls to the curl_socket_callback given in the \fBparam\fP
argument. They update the status with changes since the previous time a
\fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP function was called. If the given callback pointer
is NULL, no callback will be called. Set the callback's \fBuserp\fP argument
with \fICURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA\fP. See \fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP for more
callback details.
.IP CURLMOPT_SOCKETDATA
Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed to the \fBcurl_socket_callback\fP's
forth argument, the userp pointer. This is not used by libcurl but only
passed-thru as-is. Set the callback pointer with
\fICURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION\fP.
.IP CURLMOPT_PIPELINING
Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Enabling pipelining on a multi
handle will make it attempt to perform HTTP Pipelining as far as possible for
transfers using this handle. This means that if you add a second request that
can use an already existing connection, the second request will be \&"piped"
on the same connection rather than being executed in parallell. (Added in
7.16.0)
.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION
Pass a pointer to a function matching the \fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP
prototype. This function will then be called when the timeout value
changes. The timeout value is at what latest time the application should call
one of the \&"performing" functions of the multi interface
(\fIcurl_multi_socket(3)\fP, \fIcurl_multi_socket_all(3)\fP and
\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP) - to allow libcurl to keep timeouts and retries
etc to work. A timeout value of -1 means that there is no timeout at all, and
0 means that the timeout is already reached. Libcurl attempts to limit calling
this only when the fixed future timeout time actually changes. See also
\fICURLMOPT_TIMERDATA\fP. This callback can be used instead of, or in addition
to, \fIcurl_multi_timeout(3)\fP. (Added in 7.16.0)
.IP CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA
Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed to the
\fBcurl_multi_timer_callback\fP's third argument, the userp pointer. This is
not used by libcurl but only passed-thru as-is. Set the callback pointer with
\fICURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION\fP. (Added in 7.16.0)
.IP CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS
Pass a long. The set number will be used as the maximum amount of
simultaneously open connections that libcurl may cache. Default is 10, and
libcurl will enlarge the size for each added easy handle to make it fit 4
times the number of added easy handles.
By setting this option, you can prevent the cache size to grow beyond the
limit set by you.
When the cache is full, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent the
number of open connections to increase.
This option is for the multi handle's use only, when using the easy interface
you should instead use the \fICURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS\fP option.
(Added in 7.16.3)
.SH RETURNS
The standard CURLMcode for multi interface error codes. Note that it returns a
CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if you try setting an option that this version of libcurl
doesn't know of.
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.15.4.
