.SH NAME
curl_easy_setopt \- set options for a curl easy handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP is used to tell libcurl how to behave. By setting
the appropriate options, the application can change libcurl's behavior. All
options are set with an \fIoption\fP followed by a \fIparameter\fP. That
parameter can be a \fBlong\fP, a \fBfunction pointer\fP, an \fBobject
pointer\fP or a \fBcurl_off_t\fP, depending on what the specific option
expects. Read this manual carefully as bad input values may cause libcurl to
behave badly! You can only set one option in each function call. A typical
application uses many \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP calls in the setup phase.
Options set with this function call are valid for all forthcoming transfers
performed using this \fIhandle\fP. The options are not in any way reset
between transfers, so if you want subsequent transfers with different options,
you must change them between the transfers. You can optionally reset all
options back to internal default with \fIcurl_easy_reset(3)\fP.
Strings passed to libcurl as 'char *' arguments, are copied by the library;
thus the string storage associated to the pointer argument may be overwritten
after \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP returns. The only exception to this rule is
really \fICURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3)\fP, but the alternative that copies the string
\fICURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3)\fP has some usage characteristics you need to
read up on.
The order in which the options are set does not matter.
Before version 7.17.0, strings were not copied. Instead the user was forced
keep them available until libcurl no longer needed them.
The \fIhandle\fP is the return code from a \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP or
\fIcurl_easy_duphandle(3)\fP call.

.SH TELNET OPTIONS
.IP CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS
TELNET options. See \fICURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS(3)\fP
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fICURLE_OK\fP (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero means an
error occurred as \fI<curl/curl.h>\fP defines. See the \fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP
man page for the full list with descriptions.
If you try to set an option that libcurl doesn't know about, perhaps because
the library is too old to support it or the option was removed in a recent
version, this function will return \fICURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION\fP. If support for
the option was disabled at compile-time, it will return
\fICURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN\fP.
