CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS(3) NAME CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS - DNS servers to use SYNOPSIS #include CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS, char *servers); DESCRIPTION Pass a char pointer that is the list of DNS servers to be used instead of the system default. The format of the dns servers option is: host[:port][,host[:port]]... For example: 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.101,3.4.5.6 The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again. DEFAULT NULL PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all supported protocols EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS, "192.168.1.100:53,192.168.1.101"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } NOTES This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one. AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.24.0 RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if support was disabled at compile-time, CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT when given an invalid server list, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
