CURLOPT_STDERR3
Redirect stderr to another stream
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_STDERR, FILE *stream);
Overview
Pass a FILE * as parameter. Tell libcurl to use this stream instead of stderr when showing the progress meter and displaying CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) data.
If you are using libcurl as a Windows DLL, this option causes an exception and a crash in the library since it cannot access a FILE * passed on from the application. A work-around is to instead use CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3).
Default
stderr
Protocols
All
Examples
int main(void)

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_STDERR, filep);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
