NAME
CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION - convert data to network from host encoding SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode conv_callback(char *ptr, size_t length); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION, conv_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. Applies to non-ASCII platforms. curl_version_info(3) will return the CURL_VERSION_CONV feature bit set if this option is provided. The data to be converted is in a buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. The amount of data to convert is indicated by the length parame- ter. The converted data overlays the input data in the buffer pointed to by the ptr parameter. CURLE_OK must be returned upon successful conversion. A CURLcode return value defined by curl.h, such as CURLE_CONV_FAILED, should be returned if an error was encountered. CURLOPT_CONV_TO_NETWORK_FUNCTION converts from host encoding to the network encoding. It is used when commands or ASCII data are sent over the network. If you set a callback pointer to NULL, or don't set it at all, the built-in libcurl iconv functions will be used. If HAVE_ICONV was not defined when libcurl was built, and no callback has been established, conversion will return the CURLE_CONV_REQD error code. If HAVE_ICONV is defined, CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST must also be defined. For example: #define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_HOST "IBM-1047" The iconv code in libcurl will default the network and UTF8 codeset names as follows: #define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_OF_NETWORK "ISO8859-1" #define CURL_ICONV_CODESET_FOR_UTF8 "UTF-8" You will need to override these definitions if they are different on your system. DEFAULT
NULL PROTOCOLS
FTP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3 EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Available only if CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS was defined when libcurl was built. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO

NAME
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION - set callback for writing received data SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> size_t write_callback(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, write_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as there is data received that needs to be saved. ptr points to the delivered data, and the size of that data is size multiplied with nmemb. The callback function will be passed as much data as possible in all invokes, but you must not make any assumptions. It may be one byte, it may be thousands. The maximum amount of body data that will be passed to the write callback is defined in the curl.h header file: CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE (the usual default is 16K). If CURLOPT_HEADER(3) is enabled, which makes header data get passed to the write callback, you can get up to CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER bytes of header data passed into it. This usually means 100K. This function may be called with zero bytes data if the transferred file is empty. The data passed to this function will not be zero terminated! Set the userdata argument with the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3) option. Your callback should return the number of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to your callback function, it'll signal an error condition to the library. This will cause the transfer to get aborted and the libcurl function used will return CURLE_WRITE_ERROR. If your callback function returns CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE it will cause this transfer to become paused. See curl_easy_pause(3) for further details. Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function used instead of your callback. The internal default function will write the data to the FILE * given with CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3). DEFAULT
libcurl will use 'fwrite' as a callback by default. PROTOCOLS
For all protocols AVAILABILITY
Support for the CURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSE return code was added in version 7.18.0. RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK. EXAMPLE
A common technique is to use this callback to store the incoming data into a dynamically growing allocated buffer. Like in the getinmemory example: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html SEE ALSO
