Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a single highly unscientific poll on twitter). Reported-by: coinhubs on github Fixes #5598 Closes #5608

.TH CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION \- set callback for writing received data
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
size_t write_callback(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata);
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
|
|
shown above.
|
|
|
|
This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data
|
|
received that needs to be saved. For most transfers, this callback gets called
|
|
many times and each invoke delivers another chunk of data. \fIptr\fP points to
|
|
the delivered data, and the size of that data is \fInmemb\fP; \fIsize\fP is
|
|
always 1.
|
|
|
|
The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes,
|
|
but you must not make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be
|
|
thousands. The maximum amount of body data that will be passed to the write
|
|
callback is defined in the curl.h header file: \fICURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE\fP (the
|
|
usual default is 16K). If \fICURLOPT_HEADER(3)\fP is enabled, which makes
|
|
header data get passed to the write callback, you can get up to
|
|
\fICURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER\fP bytes of header data passed into it. This usually
|
|
means 100K.
|
|
|
|
This function may be called with zero bytes data if the transferred file is
|
|
empty.
|
|
|
|
The data passed to this function will not be null-terminated!
|
|
|
|
Set the \fIuserdata\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP option.
|
|
|
|
Your callback should return the number of bytes actually taken care of. If
|
|
that amount differs from the amount passed to your callback function, it'll
|
|
signal an error condition to the library. This will cause the transfer to get
|
|
aborted and the libcurl function used will return \fICURLE_WRITE_ERROR\fP.
|
|
|
|
If your callback function returns CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE it will cause this
|
|
transfer to become paused. See \fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP for further details.
|
|
|
|
Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function used instead of
|
|
your callback. The internal default function will write the data to the FILE *
|
|
given with \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
libcurl will use 'fwrite' as a callback by default.
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
For all protocols
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Support for the CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE return code was added in version 7.18.0.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
This will return CURLE_OK.
|
|
