NAME

CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION - debug callback

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
typedef enum {

CURLINFO_TEXT = 0,
CURLINFO_HEADER_IN, /* 1 */
CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, /* 2 */
CURLINFO_DATA_IN, /* 3 */
CURLINFO_DATA_OUT, /* 4 */
CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN, /* 5 */
CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT, /* 6 */
CURLINFO_END } curl_infotype; int debug_callback(CURL *handle,
curl_infotype type,
char *data,
size_t size,
void *userptr); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION,
debug_callback);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype shown above.

CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) replaces the standard debug function used when CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) is in effect. This callback receives debug information, as specified in the type argument. This function must return 0. The data pointed to by the char * passed to this function WILL NOT be null-terminated, but will be exactly of the size as told by the size argument.

The userptr argument is the pointer set with CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3).

Available curl_infotype values:

The data is informational text.
The data is header (or header-like) data received from the peer.
The data is header (or header-like) data sent to the peer.
The data is protocol data received from the peer.
The data is protocol data sent to the peer.
The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data sent to the peer.
The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data received from the peer.

DEFAULT

NULL
