CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD,
                           double *speed);

Overview

CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more sensible variable type.

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    /* Perform the request */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(!res) {
      double speed;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD, &speed);
      if(!res) {
        printf("Download speed %.0f bytes/sec\n", speed);
      }
    }
  }
}
