NAME

       curl_share_strerror - return string describing error code

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>
       const char *curl_share_strerror(CURLSHcode errornum);

DESCRIPTION

       The curl_share_strerror() function returns a string describing the CURLSHcode error code passed in the argument errornum.

AVAILABILITY

       This function was added in libcurl 7.12.0

RETURN VALUE

       A pointer to a zero terminated string.

NAME

       CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER - set error buffer for error messages

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, char *buf);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	char  *  to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error messages in on failures or problems. This may be more helpful
       than just the return code from curl_easy_perform(3) and related functions. The buffer must be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE bytes big.

       You must keep the associated buffer available until libcurl no longer needs it. Failing to do so will  cause  very  odd	behavior  or  even
       crashes. libcurl will need it until you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) or you set the same option again to use a different pointer.

       Consider CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) and CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) to better debug and trace why errors happen.

       If the library does not return an error, the buffer may not have been touched. Do not rely on the contents in those cases.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       All

EXAMPLE

       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode res;
	 char errbuf[CURL_ERROR_SIZE];

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 /* provide a buffer to store errors in */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, errbuf);

	 /* set the error buffer as empty before performing a request */
	 errbuf[0] = 0;

	 /* perform the request */
	 res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	 /* if the request did not complete correctly, show the error
	 information. if no detailed error information was written to errbuf
	 show the more generic information from curl_easy_strerror instead.
	 */
	 if(res != CURLE_OK) {
	   size_t len = strlen(errbuf);
	   fprintf(stderr, "
libcurl: (%d) ", res);
	   if(len)
	     fprintf(stderr, "%s%s", errbuf,
		     ((errbuf[len - 1] != '
') ? "
" : ""));
	   else
	     fprintf(stderr, "%s
", curl_easy_strerror(res));
	 }
       }

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK
