This string may be IPv6 when that is enabled. Note that you get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-used at next request so you need to copy the string if you want to keep the information. The \fBip\fP pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP on the corresponding CURL handle. .SH PROTOCOLS All network based ones .SH EXAMPLE .nf { char *ip; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */ res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* Check for errors */ if((res == CURLE_OK) && !curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP, &ip) && ip) { printf("IP: %s\\n", ip); } /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } .fi .SH AVAILABILITY Added in 7.19.0 .SH RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR curl_easy_getinfo "(3), " curl_easy_setopt "(3), " .BR CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT "(3), " CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP "(3), "
