CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT - allow to exit quickly

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT,
long value);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a
timeout, libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to
avoid all kinds of leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is
about to call exit() anyway. This allows for a swift termination
after a DNS timeout for example, by canceling and/or forgetting about
a resolver thread, at the expense of a possible (though short-lived)
leak of associated resources.

DEFAULT

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.87.0

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
