CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					  CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION - callback for I/O operations SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> typedef enum { CURLIOE_OK, /* I/O operation successful */ CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD, /* command was unknown to callback */ CURLIOE_FAILRESTART, /* failed to restart the read */ CURLIOE_LAST /* never use */ } curlioerr; typedef enum { CURLIOCMD_NOP, /* no operation */ CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD, /* restart the read stream from start */ CURLIOCMD_LAST /* never use */ } curliocmd; curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. This callback function gets called by libcurl when something special I/O-related needs to be done that the library can't do by itself. For now, rewinding the read data stream is the only action it can request. The rewinding of the read data stream may be necessary when doing a HTTP PUT or POST with a multi-pass authentication method. The callback MUST return CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD if the input cmd is not CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD. The clientp argument to the callback is set with the CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA(3) option. This option is deprecated! Do not use it. Use CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3) instead to provide seeking! If CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3) is set, this parameter will be ignored when seeking. DEFAULT
By default, this parameter is set to NULL. Not used. PROTOCOLS
Used with HTTP EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.12.3 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO

CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				       CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION - callback to progress meter function SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> int progress_callback(void *clientp, double dltotal, double dlnow, double ultotal, double ulnow); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, progress_callback); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above. We encourage users to use the newer CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION(3) instead, if you can. This function gets called by libcurl instead of its internal equivalent with a frequent interval. While data is being transferred it will be called very frequently, and during slow periods like when nothing is being transferred it can slow down to about one call per second. clientp is the pointer set with CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA(3), it is not used by libcurl but is only passed along from the application to the callback. The callback gets told how much data libcurl will transfer and has transferred, in number of bytes. dltotal is the total number of bytes libcurl expects to download in this transfer. dlnow is the number of bytes downloaded so far. ultotal is the total number of bytes libcurl expects to upload in this transfer. ulnow is the number of bytes uploaded so far. Unknown/unused argument values passed to the callback will be set to zero (like if you only download data, the upload size will remain 0). Many times the callback will be called one or more times first, before it knows the data sizes so a program must be made to handle that. Returning a non-zero value from this callback will cause libcurl to abort the transfer and return CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK. If you transfer data with the multi interface, this function will not be called during periods of idleness unless you call the appropriate libcurl function that performs transfers. CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS(3) must be set to 0 to make this function actually get called. DEFAULT
By default, libcurl has an internal progress meter. That's rarely wanted by users. PROTOCOLS
