CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT - allow to exit quickly
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT,
long value);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a
timeout, libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to
avoid all kinds of leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about
to call exit() anyway. This allows for a swift termination after a DNS
timeout for example, by canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver
thread, at the expense of a possible (though short-lived) leak of
associated resources.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.87.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
if not.
