.TH CURLOPT_CURLU 3 "28 Oct 2018" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CURLU \- URL in URL handle format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, CURLU *pointer);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the \fIURL\fP handle to work with. The parameter should
be a \fICURLU *\fP. Setting \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP explicitly overrides
\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP.
\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP \fBmust\fP be set before a
transfer is started.
libcurl uses this handle and its contents read-only and does not change its
contents. An application can update the contents of the URL handle after a
transfer is done and if the same handle is used in a subsequent request the
updated contents is used.
.SH DEFAULT
The default value of this parameter is NULL.

curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);
ret = curl_easy_perform(handle);
