.SH NAME
curl_easy_setopt \- set options for a curl easy handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_easy_setopt() is used to tell libcurl how to behave. By using the
appropriate options to \fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP, you can change libcurl's
behavior.  All options are set with the \fIoption\fP followed by a
\fIparameter\fP. That parameter can be a \fBlong\fP, a \fBfunction pointer\fP,
an \fBobject pointer\fP or a \fBcurl_off_t\fP, depending on what the specific
option expects. Read this manual carefully as bad input values may cause
libcurl to behave badly!  You can only set one option in each function call. A
typical application uses many curl_easy_setopt() calls in the setup phase.

Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming transfers
performed using this \fIhandle\fP.  The options are not in any way reset
between transfers, so if you want subsequent transfers with different options,
you must change them between the transfers. You can optionally reset all
options back to internal default with \fIcurl_easy_reset(3)\fP.

Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the library;
thus the string storage associated to the pointer argument may be overwritten
after curl_easy_setopt() returns. The only exception to this rule is really
\fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3)\fP, but the alternative that copies the string
\fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3)\fP has some usage characteristics you need to
read up on.

Before version 7.17.0, strings were not copied. Instead the user was forced
keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them.

The \fIhandle\fP is the return code from a \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP or
\fIcurl_easy_duphandle(3)\fP call.

version, this function will return \fICURLE_FAILED_INIT\fP.
