CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS - DNS servers to use

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS, char *servers);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer that is the list of DNS servers to be used
instead of the system default. The format of the dns servers option
is:

host[:port][,host[:port]]...

For example:

192.168.1.100,192.168.1.101,3.4.5.6

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override
the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT

NULL

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/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS,
"192.168.1.100:53,192.168.1.101");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

NOTES

This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend
that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such
one.

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.24.0

RETURN VALUE

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

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error
occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
