SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, long resolve);

DESCRIPTION

       Allows  an  application  to  select  what  kind of IP addresses to use when establishing a
       connection or choosing one from the connection pool. This is interesting when  using  host
       names that resolve addresses using more than one version of IP. The allowed values are:

       CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER
              Default, can use addresses of all IP versions that your system allows.

       CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4
              Uses only IPv4 addresses.

       CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6
              Uses only IPv6 addresses.

DEFAULT

       CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER

PROTOCOLS

         /* of all addresses example.com resolves to, only IPv6 ones are used */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6);
