# NAME
CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT - allow to exit quickly
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT,
long value);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a timeout,
libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to avoid all kinds of
leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about to call exit() anyway.
This allows for a swift termination after a DNS timeout for example, by
canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver thread, at the expense of a
possible (though short-lived) leak of associated resources.
# DEFAULT
0
# PROTOCOLS
All
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
