.TH CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION \- select condition for a time request
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, long cond);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. This defines how the \fICURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)\fP time
value is treated. You can set this parameter to \fICURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE\fP
or \fICURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE\fP.
The last modification time of a file is not always known and in such instances
this feature will have no effect even if the given time condition would not
have been met. \fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP with the
\fICURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET\fP option can be used after a transfer to learn if
a zero-byte successful "transfer" was due to this condition not matching.
.SH DEFAULT
CURL_TIMECOND_NONE (0)
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, RTSP, and FILE
.SH EXAMPLE
