CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION - set callback for setting socket options SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> typedef enum { CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN, /* socket created for a specific IP connection */ CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT, /* socket created by accept() call */ CURLSOCKTYPE_LAST /* never use */ } curlsocktype; #define CURL_SOCKOPT_OK 0 #define CURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR 1 /* causes libcurl to abort and return CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK */ #define CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED 2 int sockopt_callback(void *clientp, curl_socket_t curlfd, curlsocktype purpose); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION, sockopt_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. When set, this callback function gets called by libcurl when the socket has been created, but before the connect call to allow applications to change specific socket options. The callback's purpose argument identifies the exact purpose for this particular socket: CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN for actively created connections or since 7.28.0 CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT for FTP when the connection was setup with PORT/EPSV (in earlier versions these sockets weren't passed to this callback). Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. libcurl passes the newly created socket descriptor to the callback in the curlfd parameter so additional setsockopt() calls can be done at the user's discretion. The clientp pointer contains whatever user-defined value set using the CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA(3) function. Return CURL_SOCKOPT_OK from the callback on success. Return CURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR from the callback function to signal an unrecoverable error to the library and it will close the socket and return CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT. Alternatively, the callback function can return CURL_SOCK- OPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED, to tell libcurl that the socket is already connected and then libcurl will not attempt to connect it. This allows an application to pass in an already connected socket with CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) and then have this function make libcurl not attempt to connect (again). DEFAULT
By default, this callback is NULL and unused. PROTOCOLS
All EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.16.0. The CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED return code was added in 7.21.5. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO

NAME
CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION - callback for I/O operations SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> typedef enum { CURLIOE_OK, /* I/O operation successful */ CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD, /* command was unknown to callback */ CURLIOE_FAILRESTART, /* failed to restart the read */ CURLIOE_LAST /* never use */ } curlioerr; typedef enum { CURLIOCMD_NOP, /* no operation */ CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD, /* restart the read stream from start */ CURLIOCMD_LAST /* never use */ } curliocmd; curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. This callback function gets called by libcurl when something special I/O-related needs to be done that the library can't do by itself. For now, rewinding the read data stream is the only action it can request. The rewinding of the read data stream may be necessary when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication method. The callback MUST return CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD if the input cmd is not CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD. The clientp argument to the callback is set with the CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA(3) option. This option is deprecated! Do not use it. Use CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3) instead to provide seeking! If CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3) is set, this parameter will be ignored when seeking. DEFAULT
By default, this parameter is set to NULL. Not used. PROTOCOLS
Used with HTTP EXAMPLE

Added in 7.12.3 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
