curl_easy_setopt(3) Library Functions Manual curl_easy_setopt(3)
NAME
curl_easy_setopt - set options for a curl easy handle
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
DESCRIPTION
curl_easy_setopt(3) is used to tell libcurl how to behave. By setting
the appropriate options, the application can change libcurl's behavior.
All options are set with an option followed by a parameter. That
parameter can be a long, a function pointer, an object pointer or a
curl_off_t, 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(3) calls in the setup phase.
Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming
transfers performed using this handle. 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
curl_easy_reset(3).
Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the
library; the string storage associated to the pointer argument may be
discarded or reused after curl_easy_setopt(3) returns. The only
exception to this rule is really CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3), but the
alternative that copies the string CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3) has some
usage characteristics you need to read up on. This function does not
accept input strings longer than CURL_MAX_INPUT_LENGTH (8 MB).
The order in which the options are set does not matter.
Before version 7.17.0, strings were not copied. Instead the user was
forced keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them.
The handle is the return code from a curl_easy_init(3) or
curl_easy_duphandle(3) call.

EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.1
RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means
an error occurred as <curl/curl.h> defines. See the libcurl-errors(3)
man page for the full list with descriptions.
Strings passed on to libcurl must be shorter than 8000000 bytes,
otherwise curl_easy_setopt(3) returns CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT
(added in 7.65.0).
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT is returned when the argument to an option
is invalid, like perhaps out of range.
If you try to set an option that libcurl does not know about, perhaps
because the library is too old to support it or the option was removed
in a recent version, this function returns CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION. If
support for the option was disabled at compile-time, it returns
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN.
