CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME


CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE - time value for conditional

SYNOPSIS


#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE,
curl_off_t val);

DESCRIPTION


Pass a curl_off_t val as parameter. This should be the time counted
as seconds since 1 Jan 1970, and the time is used in a condition as
specified with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3).

The difference between this option and CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3) is the
type of the argument. On systems where 'long' is only 32 bits wide,
this option has to be used to set dates beyond the year 2038.
