CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP(3)
NAME
CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP - get IP address of last connection
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP, char **ip);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a
null-terminated string holding the IP address of the most recent
connection done with this curl handle. This string may be IPv6 when
that is enabled. Note that you get a pointer to a memory area that is
reused at next request so you need to copy the string if you want to
keep the information.
The ip pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free -
it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding
CURL handle.
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
char *ip;
CURLcode res;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* Perform the transfer */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Check for errors */
if((res == CURLE_OK) &&
!curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP, &ip) && ip) {
printf("IP: %s\n", ip);
}
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.19.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
