CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO(3)

NAME

CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO - get errno number from last connect failure

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, long *errnop);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect
failure. Note that the value is only set on failure, it is not reset
upon a successful operation. The number is OS and system specific.

libcurl network-related errors that may have a saved errno are:
CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT, CURLE_FAILED_INIT, CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED,
CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT, CURLE_RECV_ERROR, CURLE_SEND_ERROR.

Since 8.8.0 libcurl clears the easy handle's saved errno before
performing the transfer. Prior versions did not clear the saved
errno, which means if a saved errno is retrieved it could be from a
previous transfer on the same handle.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res != CURLE_OK) {
long error;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, &error);
if(!res && error) {
printf("Errno: %ld\n", error);
}
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.12.2

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error
