NAME
       CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET - set EGD socket path

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, char *path);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a char * to the null-terminated path name to the Entropy Gathering
       Daemon socket. It will be used to seed the random engine for SSL.

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

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, "/var/egd.socket");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       If built TLS enabled. Only the OpenSSL and GnuTLS backends will use
       this.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
       CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
