# NAME
|
|
|
|
curl_mime_filedata - set a mime part's body data from a file contents
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_mime_filedata(curl_mimepart *part,
|
|
const char *filename);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
curl_mime_filedata(3) sets a mime part's body content from the named
|
|
file's contents. This is an alternative to curl_mime_data(3) for setting
|
|
data to a mime part.
|
|
|
|
*part* is the part's to assign contents to.
|
|
|
|
*filename* points to the null-terminated file's path name. The pointer can
|
|
be NULL to detach the previous part contents settings. Filename storage can
|
|
be safely be reused after this call.
|
|
|
|
As a side effect, the part's remote filename is set to the base name of the
|
|
given *filename* if it is a valid named file. This can be undone or
|
|
overridden by a subsequent call to curl_mime_filename(3).
|
|
|
|
The contents of the file is read during the file transfer in a streaming
|
|
manner to allow huge files to get transferred without using much memory. It
|
|
therefore requires that the file is kept intact during the entire request.
|
|
|
|
If the file size cannot be determined before actually reading it (such as for
|
|
a character device or named pipe), the whole mime structure containing the
|
|
part is transferred using chunks by HTTP but is rejected by IMAP.
|
|
|
|
Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the
|
|
last call is retained.

# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
curl_mime *mime;
|
|
curl_mimepart *part;
|
|
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
/* create a mime handle */
|
|
mime = curl_mime_init(curl);
|
|
|
|
/* add a part */
|
|
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
|
|
|
|
/* send data from this file */
|
|
curl_mime_filedata(part, "image.png");
|
|
|
|
/* set name */
|
|
curl_mime_name(part, "data");
|
|
}
|
|
}

|
# AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure. CURLE_READ_ERROR is only an
|
|
indication that the file is not yet readable: it can be safely ignored at
|
|
this time, but the file must be made readable before the pertaining
|
|
easy handle is performed.
