.TH CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION \- callback for I/O operations
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
typedef enum {
CURLIOE_OK, /* I/O operation successful */
CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD, /* command was unknown to callback */
CURLIOE_FAILRESTART, /* failed to restart the read */
CURLIOE_LAST /* never use */
} curlioerr;
typedef enum {
CURLIOCMD_NOP, /* no operation */
CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD, /* restart the read stream from start */
CURLIOCMD_LAST /* never use */
} curliocmd;
curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl when something special
I/O-related needs to be done that the library cannot do by itself. For now,
rewinding the read data stream is the only action it can request. The
rewinding of the read data stream may be necessary when doing an HTTP PUT or
POST with a multi-pass authentication method.
The callback MUST return \fICURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD\fP if the input \fIcmd\fP is
not \fICURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD\fP.
The \fIclientp\fP argument to the callback is set with the
\fICURLOPT_IOCTLDATA(3)\fP option.
This option is deprecated! Do not use it. Use \fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3)\fP
instead to provide seeking! If \fICURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION(3)\fP is set, this
parameter will be ignored when seeking.
.SH DEFAULT
By default, this parameter is set to NULL. Not used.
.SH PROTOCOLS
Used with HTTP
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
static curlioerr ioctl_callback(CURL *handle, int cmd, void *clientp)
{
struct data *io = (struct data *)clientp;
if(cmd == CURLIOCMD_RESTARTREAD) {
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);
current_offset = 0;
return CURLIOE_OK;
}
return CURLIOE_UNKNOWNCMD;
}
{
struct data ioctl_data;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION, ioctl_callback);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, &ioctl_data);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.12.3
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
