NAME

       CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA - pointer passed to SSL context callback

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION

       Data   pointer   to   pass   to   the   ssl   context   callback   set   by   the   option
       CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION(3), this is the pointer you will get as third parameter.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE

       /* OpenSSL specific */

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>
