CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T - get the time until the first byte is
received
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T,
curl_off_t *timep);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the time, in microseconds, it
took from the start until the first byte is received by libcurl. This
includes CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T(3) and also the time the server
needs to calculate the result.
When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added
together.
See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T, &start);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
printf("Time: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld", start / 1000000,
