xenial (3) CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET.3.gz

NAME

       CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET - get the active socket

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_ACTIVESOCKET,
                                  curl_socket_t *socket);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer to a curl_socket_t to receive the active socket used by this curl session. If the socket
       is no longer valid, CURL_SOCKET_BAD is returned. When you finish working with the socket, you  must  call
       curl_easy_cleanup(3)  as  usual  on  the  easy  handle and let libcurl close the socket and cleanup other
       resources associated with the handle. This is typically used in combination with CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY(3).

       This option was added as a replacement for CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET(3) since that one  isn't  working  on  all
       platforms.
