.TH CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER 3 "March 15 2024" libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER \- error buffer for error messages
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, char *buf);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a char pointer to a buffer that libcurl may use to store human readable
|
|
error messages on failures or problems. This may be more helpful than just the
|
|
return code from \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP and related functions. The buffer must
|
|
be at least \fBCURL_ERROR_SIZE\fP bytes big.
|
|
|
|
You must keep the associated buffer available until libcurl no longer needs
|
|
it. Failing to do so might cause odd behavior or even crashes. libcurl might
|
|
need it until you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP or you set the same option
|
|
again to use a different pointer.
|
|
|
|
Do not rely on the contents of the buffer unless an error code was returned.
|
|
Since 7.60.0 libcurl initializes the contents of the error buffer to an empty
|
|
string before performing the transfer. For earlier versions if an error code
|
|
was returned but there was no error detail then the buffer was untouched.
|
|
|
|
Consider \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP to better
|
|
debug and trace why errors happen.
