NAME

       CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION - callback to socket close replacement

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int closesocket_callback(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item);

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION,
                                 closesocket_callback);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.

       This  callback  function  gets called by libcurl instead of the close(3) or closesocket(3)
       call when sockets are closed (not for any other file descriptors). This is pretty much the
       reverse  to  the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) option. Return 0 to signal success and 1 if
       there was an error.

       The clientp pointer is set with CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA(3). item  is  the  socket  libcurl
       wants to be closed.

DEFAULT

       By default libcurl uses the standard socket close function.

PROTOCOLS

       All

EXAMPLE

       static int closesocket(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item)
       {
         printf("libcurl wants to close %d now\n", (int)item);
         return 0;
       }

       /* call this function to close sockets */
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION, closesocket);
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA, &sockfd);

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.21.7

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
