.\" generated by cd2nroff 0.1 from CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI.md .TH CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI 3 "2024-12-12" libcurl .SH NAME CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI \- RTSP stream URI .SH SYNOPSIS .nf #include CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, char *URI); .fi .SH DESCRIPTION Set the stream \fIURI\fP to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a single session may be controlling \fIrtsp://foo/twister/audio\fP and \fIrtsp://foo/twister/video\fP and the application can switch to the appropriate stream using this option. If unset, libcurl defaults to operating on generic server options by passing \(aq*\(aq in the place of the RTSP Stream URI. This option is distinct from \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP. When working with RTSP, the \fICURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3)\fP indicates what URL to send to the server in the request header while the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP indicates where to make the connection to. (e.g. the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP for the above examples might be set to \fIrtsp://foo/twister\fP 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. .SH DEFAULT \&"*" .SH PROTOCOLS This functionality affects rtsp only .SH EXAMPLE .nf int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, "rtsp://foo.example.com/twister/video"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.20.0 .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. .SH SEE ALSO .BR CURLOPT_RTSP_REQUEST (3), .BR CURLOPT_RTSP_TRANSPORT (3)
