.TH CURLOPT_READDATA 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_READDATA \- custom pointer passed to the read callback
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READDATA, void *pointer);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the file read function. If you use the
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get as
input in the 4th argument to the callback.
If you don't specify a read callback but instead rely on the default internal
read function, this data must be a valid readable FILE * (cast to 'void *').
If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP if you set this option.
.SH DEFAULT
By default, this is a FILE * to stdin.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This is used for all protocls when sending data.
.SH EXAMPLE
TODO
.SH AVAILABILITY
This option was once known by the older name \fICURLOPT_INFILE\fP, the name
\fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7.
.SH RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.
.SH "SEE ALSO"

.TH CURLOPT_READFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION \- [short desc]
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
size_t read_callback(char *buffer, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *instream);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to read data
in order to send it to the peer. The data area pointed at by the pointer
\fIbuffer\fP should be filled up with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with
\fInmemb\fP number of bytes by your function.
Your function must then return the actual number of bytes that it stored in
that memory area. Returning 0 will signal end-of-file to the library and cause
it to stop the current transfer.
If you stop the current transfer by returning 0 "pre-maturely" (i.e before the
server expected it, like when you've said you will upload N bytes and you
upload less than N bytes), you may experience that the server "hangs" waiting
for the rest of the data that won't come.
The read callback may return \fICURL_READFUNC_ABORT\fP to stop the current
operation immediately, resulting in a \fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP error
code from the transfer.
The callback can return \fICURL_READFUNC_PAUSE\fP to cause reading from this
connection to pause. See \fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP for further details.
\fBBugs\fP: when doing TFTP uploads, you must return the exact amount of data
that the callback wants, or it will be considered the final packet by the
server end and the transfer will end there.
If you set this callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the default
internal read function will be used. It is doing an fread() on the FILE *
userdata set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA(3)\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
The default internal read callback is fread().
.SH PROTOCOLS
This is used for all protocols when doing uploads.
.SH EXAMPLE
Here's an example setting a read callback for reading that to upload to an FTP
site: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ftpupload.html
.SH AVAILABILITY
CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE return code was added in 7.18.0 and CURL_READFUNC_ABORT
was added in 7.12.1.
.SH RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.

.TH CURLOPT_WRITEDATA 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA \- custom pointer passed to the write callback
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, void *pointer);
.SH DESCRIPTION
A data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the write callback. If you use the
\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get in that
callback's 4th argument. If you don't use a write callback, you must make
\fIpointer\fP a 'FILE *' (cast to 'void *') as libcurl will pass this to
\fIfwrite(3)\fP when writing data.
The internal \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP will write the data to the FILE *
given with this option, or to stdout if this option hasn't been set.
If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you \fBMUST\fP use the
\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION\fP if you set this option or you will experience
crashes.
This option is also known with the older name \fICURLOPT_FILE\fP, the name
\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7.
.SH DEFAULT
By default, this is a FILE * to stdout.
.SH PROTOCOLS
Used for all protocols.
.SH EXAMPLE
A common technique is to use the write callback to store the incoming data
into a dynamically growing allocated buffer, and then this CURLOPT_WRITEDATA
is used to point to a struct or the buffer to store data in. Like in the
getinmemory example: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
.SH AVAILABILITY
Available in all libcurl versions
.SH RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.
