curl_easy_getinfo(3)            libcurl Manual            curl_easy_getinfo(3)

NAME
       curl_easy_getinfo - extract information from a curl handle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *curl, CURLINFO info, ... );

DESCRIPTION
       Request internal information from the curl session with this function.
       The third argument MUST be a pointer to a long, a pointer to a char *,
       a pointer to a struct curl_slist * or a pointer to a double (as this
       documentation describes further down).  The data pointed-to will be
       filled in accordingly and can be relied upon only if the function
       returns CURLE_OK.  Use this function AFTER a performed transfer if you
       want to get transfer related data.

       You should not free the memory returned by this function unless it is
       explicitly mentioned below.

TIMES
       An overview of the six time values available from curl_easy_getinfo()

       curl_easy_perform()
           |
           |--NAMELOOKUP
           |--|--CONNECT
           |--|--|--APPCONNECT
           |--|--|--|--PRETRANSFER
           |--|--|--|--|--STARTTRANSFER
           |--|--|--|--|--|--TOTAL
           |--|--|--|--|--|--REDIRECT

       NAMELOOKUP
              CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME and CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T.  The
              time it took from the start until the name resolving was
              completed.

       CONNECT
              CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME and CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME_T.  The time it
              took from the start until the connect to the remote host (or
              proxy) was completed.

       APPCONNECT
              CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME and CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME_T.  The
              time it took from the start until the SSL connect/handshake with
              the remote host was completed. (Added in 7.19.0) The latter is
              the integer version (measuring microseconds).  (Added in 7.60.0)

       PRETRANSFER
              CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME and CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T.  The
              time it took from the start until the file transfer is just
              about to begin. This includes all pre-transfer commands and
              negotiations that are specific to the particular protocol(s)
              involved.

       STARTTRANSFER
              CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME and CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T.
              The time it took from the start until the first byte is received
              by libcurl.

       TOTAL  CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME and CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME_T.  Total time of
              the previous request.

       REDIRECT
              CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME and CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T.  The time
              it took for all redirection steps include name lookup, connect,
              pretransfer and transfer before final transaction was started.
              So, this is zero if no redirection took place.

RETURN VALUE
       If the operation was successful, CURLE_OK is returned. Otherwise an
       appropriate error code will be returned.
