CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3) curl_easy_setopt options
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA - pointer passed to the write callback
SYNOPSIS
cpp
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, void *pointer);
DESCRIPTION
A data pointer to pass to the write callback. If you use the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3) option, this is the
pointer you will get in that callback's fourth and last argument. If you do not use a write callback, you must
make pointer a 'FILE *' (cast to 'void *') as libcurl will pass this to fwrite(3) when writing data.
The internal CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3) will write the data to the FILE * given with this option, or to stdout
if this option has not been set.
If you are using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3) if you set this option or you
will experience crashes.
要注意Win32 DLL下,如果设置了这个选项,就必须设置CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,否则程序会崩溃。
DEFAULT
By default, this is a FILE * to stdout.
PROTOCOLS
Used for all protocols.
EXAMPLE
A common technique is to use the write callback to store the incoming data into a dynamically growing allo‐
cated buffer, and then this CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3) is used to point to a struct or the buffer to store data in.
Like in the getinmemory example: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
AVAILABILITY
Available in all libcurl versions. This option was formerly known as CURLOPT_FILE, the name CURLOPT_WRITE‐
DATA(3) was introduced in 7.9.7.
RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.
