CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME(3)                           Library Functions Manual

NAME
       CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME - name lookup time

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME,
                                  double *timep);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds from
       the start until the name resolving was completed.

       When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added
       together.

       See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

           if(result == CURLE_OK) {
             result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME, &namelookup);
             if(result == CURLE_OK) {
               printf("Time: %.1f", namelookup);
             }
