# NAME
CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME - get the time until the file transfer start
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME,
double *timep);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the
start until the file transfer is just about to begin.
This time-stamp includes all pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are
specific to the particular protocol(s) involved. It includes the sending of
the protocol-specific instructions that trigger a transfer.
When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.
See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.
