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
       All

EXAMPLE

           CURLcode ret;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L);
           ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }
