curl_share_setopt(3)            libcurl Manual            curl_share_setopt(3)

NAME
       curl_share_setopt - Set options for a shared object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLSHcode curl_share_setopt(CURLSH *share, CURLSHoption option,
       parameter);

DESCRIPTION
       Set the option to parameter for the given share.

OPTIONS
       CURLSHOPT_LOCKFUNC
              The parameter must be a pointer to a function matching the
              following prototype:

              void lock_function(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data,
              curl_lock_access access, void *userptr);

              The data argument tells what kind of data libcurl wants to lock.
              Make sure that the callback uses a different lock for each kind
              of data.

              access defines what access type libcurl wants, shared or single.

              userptr is the pointer you set with CURLSHOPT_USERDATA.

       CURLSHOPT_UNLOCKFUNC
              The parameter must be a pointer to a function matching the
              following prototype:

              void unlock_function(CURL *handle, curl_lock_data data, void
              *userptr);

              data defines what data libcurl wants to unlock, and you must
              make sure that only one lock is given at any time for each kind
              of data.

              userptr is the pointer you set with CURLSHOPT_USERDATA.

       CURLSHOPT_SHARE
              The parameter specifies a type of data that should be shared.
              This may be set to one of the values described below.

              CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE
                     Cookie data will be shared across the easy handles using
                     this shared object.  Note that this does not activate an
                     easy handle's cookie handling. You can do that separately
                     by using _COOKIEFILE&section=3">CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3) for example.

              CURL_LOCK_DATA_DNS
                     Cached DNS hosts will be shared across the easy handles
                     using this shared object. Note that when you use the
                     multi interface, all easy handles added to the same multi
                     handle will share DNS cache by default without using this
                     option.

              CURL_LOCK_DATA_SSL_SESSION
                     SSL session IDs will be shared across the easy handles
                     using this shared object. This will reduce the time spent
                     in the SSL handshake when reconnecting to the same
                     server. Note SSL session IDs are reused within the same
                     easy handle by default. Note this symbol was added in
                     7.10.3 but was not implemented until 7.23.0.

              CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT
                     Put the connection cache in the share object and make all
                     easy handles using this share object share the connection
                     cache.

                     Note that due to a known bug, it is not safe to share
                     connections this way between multiple concurrent threads.

                     Connections that are used for HTTP/1.1 Pipelining or
                     HTTP/2 multiplexing only get additional transfers added
                     to them if the existing connection is held by the same
                     multi or easy handle. libcurl does not support doing
                     HTTP/2 streams in different threads using a shared
                     connection.

                     Support for CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT was added in 7.57.0,
                     but the symbol existed before this.

                     Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy
                     handles added to the same multi handle will share
                     connection cache by default without using this option.

              CURL_LOCK_DATA_PSL
                     The Public Suffix List stored in the share object is made
                     available to all easy handle bound to the later. Since
                     the Public Suffix List is periodically refreshed, this
                     avoids updates in too many different contexts.

                     CURL_LOCK_DATA_PSL exists since 7.61.0.

                     Note that when you use the multi interface, all easy
                     handles added to the same multi handle will share PSL
                     cache by default without using this option.

       CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE
              This option does the opposite of CURLSHOPT_SHARE. It specifies
              that the specified parameter will no longer be shared. Valid
              values are the same as those for CURLSHOPT_SHARE.

       CURLSHOPT_USERDATA
              The parameter allows you to specify a pointer to data that will
              be passed to the lock_function and unlock_function each time it
              is called.

RETURN VALUE
       CURLSHE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, non-zero
       means an error occurred as <curl/curl.h> defines. See the libcurl-
       errors.3 man page for the full list with descriptions.
