NAME
curl_easy_setopt - set options for a curl easy handle
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
DESCRIPTION
curl_easy_setopt(3) is used to tell libcurl how to behave. By setting the appropriate
options, the application can change libcurl's behavior. All options are set with an
option followed by a parameter. That parameter can be a long, a function pointer, an
object pointer or a curl_off_t, depending on what the specific option expects. Read this
manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl to behave badly! You can only set
one option in each function call. A typical application uses many curl_easy_setopt(3)
calls in the setup phase.
Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming transfers performed
using this handle. The options are not in any way reset between transfers, so if you want
subsequent transfers with different options, you must change them between the transfers.
You can optionally reset all options back to internal default with curl_easy_reset(3).
Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the library; thus the
string storage associated to the pointer argument may be overwritten after
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns. The only exception to this rule is really
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3), but the alternative that copies the string
CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3) has some usage characteristics you need to read up on.
The order in which the options are set does not matter.
Before version 7.17.0, strings were not copied. Instead the user was forced keep them
available until libcurl no longer needed them.
The handle is the return code from a curl_easy_init(3) or curl_easy_duphandle(3) call.

RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an error occurred
as <curl/curl.h> defines. See the libcurl-errors(3) man page for the full list with
descriptions.
If you try to set an option that libcurl doesn't know about, perhaps because the library
is too old to support it or the option was removed in a recent version, this function will
return CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION. If support for the option was disabled at compile-time, it
will return CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN.
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
