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,
                    (long)(start % 1000000));
