CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T(3)

CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T - get the name lookup time in microseconds

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T,
                           curl_off_t *timep);

Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the total time in microseconds 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.

This functionality affects all supported protocols

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_off_t namelookup;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T, &namelookup);
      if(CURLE_OK == res) {
        printf("Time: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld", namelookup / 1000000,
               (long)(namelookup % 1000000));
      }
    }
    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

Added in curl 7.61.0
