curl_easy_option_by_name3

Find an easy setopt option by name

Usage

#include <curl/curl.h>
const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_name(const char *name);

Overview

Given a name, this function returns a pointer to the curl_easyoption struct, holding information about the curl_easy_setopt(3) option using that name. The name should be specified without the "CURLOPT_" prefix and the name comparison is made case insensitive.

If libcurl has no option with the given name, this function returns NULL.

Examples

int main(void)
{
  const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_name("URL");
  if(opt) {
    printf("This option wants CURLoption %x\n", (int)opt->id);
  }
}

Return value

A pointer to the curl_easyoption struct for the option or NULL.
