SYNOPSIS

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ALTSVC, char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  in a pointer to a filename to instruct libcurl to use that file as the Alt-Svc cache
       to read existing cache contents from and possibly also write it back to after a  transfer,
       unless CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE is set in CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL(3).

       Specify a blank file name ("") to make libcurl not load from a file at all.

DEFAULT

       NULL. The alt-svc cache is not read nor written to file.

PROTOCOLS

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ALTSVC, "altsvc-cache.txt");
