# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_READDATA - pointer passed to the read callback
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READDATA, void *pointer);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Data *pointer* to pass to the file read function. If you use the
|
|
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) 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 'void *').
|
|
|
|
If you are using libcurl as a DLL on Windows, you must use the
|
|
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) callback if you set this option, otherwise you
|
|
might experience crashes.
|
|
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
|
|
|
By default, this is a FILE * to stdin.
|
|
|
|
# PROTOCOLS
|
|
|
|
This is used for all protocols when sending data.
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
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);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|

|
# AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
This option was once known by the older name CURLOPT_INFILE, the name
|
|
CURLOPT_READDATA(3) was introduced in 7.9.7.
|
|
|
|
# RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
This returns CURLE_OK.
