.TH CURLOPT_READDATA 3 "March 15 2024" libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_READDATA \- pointer passed to the read callback
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READDATA, void *pointer);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the file read function. If you use the
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you get as input in
the fourth argument to the callback.
If you do not specify a read callback but instead rely on the default internal
read function, this data must be a valid readable FILE * (cast to \(aqvoid *\(aq).
If you are using libcurl as a DLL on Windows, you must use the
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP callback if you set this option, otherwise you
might experience crashes.
.SH DEFAULT
By default, this is a FILE * to stdin.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This is used for all protocols when sending data.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
struct MyData {
void *custom;
};
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
struct MyData this;
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* pass pointer that gets passed in to the
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION callback */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, &this);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
This option was once known by the older name CURLOPT_INFILE, the name
\fICURLOPT_READDATA(3)\fP was introduced in 7.9.7.
.SH RETURN VALUE
This returns CURLE_OK.
