CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION(3)                        Library Functions Manual


NAME

       CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION - callback to socket close replacement


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int closesocket_callback(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item);

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION,
                                 closesocket_callback);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the
       prototype shown above.

       This callback function gets called by libcurl instead of the close(3)
       or closesocket(3) call when sockets are closed (not for any other file
       descriptors). This is pretty much the reverse to the
       CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) option. Return 0 to signal success and 1
       if there was an error.

       The clientp pointer is set with CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA(3). item is the
       socket libcurl wants to be closed.


DEFAULT

       Use the standard socket close function.


PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols


EXAMPLE

       struct priv {
         void *custom;
       };

       static int closesocket(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item)
       {
         struct priv *my = clientp;
         printf("our ptr: %p\n", my->custom);

         printf("libcurl wants to close %d now\n", (int)item);
         return 0;
       }

       int main(void)
       {
         struct priv myown;
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

         /* call this function to close sockets */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION, closesocket);
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA, &myown);

         curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }


AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.21.7


RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
