NAME
CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E - stream this transfer depends on exclusively
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, CURL *dephandle);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a CURL pointer in dephandle to identify the stream within the same connection that this stream is depending upon exclusively. That means it depends on it and sets the Exclusive bit. The spec says "Including a dependency expresses a preference to allocate resources to the identified stream rather than to the dependent stream." Setting a dependency with the exclusive flag for a reprioritized stream causes all the dependencies of the new parent stream to become dependent on the reprioritized stream. This option can be set during transfer. dephandle must not be the same as handle, that makes this function return an error. It must be another easy handle, and it also needs to be a handle of a transfer that is about to be sent over the same HTTP/2 connection for this option to have an actual effect.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
EXAMPLE
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init(); /* a second handle */ if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/one"); /* the second depends on the first */ curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/two"); curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, curl); /* then add both to a multi handle and transfer them! */ } }
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.46.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
