CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) |
NAME
CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT - allow to exit quickly
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, long value);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a timeout, libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to avoid all kinds of leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about to call exit() anyway. This allows for a swift termination after a DNS timeout for example, by canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver thread, at the expense of a possible (though short-lived) leak of associated resources.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols
EXAMPLE
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode ret; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); } }
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.87.0
RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
