CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6(3)   curl_easy_setopt options   CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6 - IPv6 address to bind DNS resolves to

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6, char
       *address);

DESCRIPTION
       Set the local IPv6 address that the resolver should bind to. The
       argument should be of type char * and contain a single IPv6 address as
       a string.  Set this option to NULL to use the default setting (don't
       bind to a specific IP address).

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

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       All

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6, "fe80::a9ff:fe46:b619");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

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

       Added in 7.33.0

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if
       not, CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if support was disabled at compile-time, or
       CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT when given a bad address.
