CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH(3)                            Library Functions Manual

NAME
       CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - entry path in FTP server

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string
       holding the path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl
       ended up in when logging on to the remote FTP or SFTP server. This
       stores a NULL as pointer if something is wrong.

       The path pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You must not free
       it. The memory gets freed automatically when you call
       curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects ftp and sftp

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode result;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");

           result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           if(!result) {
             /* extract the entry path */
             char *ep = NULL;
             result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
             if(!result && ep) {
               printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);
             }
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
