.SH NAME
curl_easy_option_next - iterate over easy setopt options
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
typedef enum {
CURLOT_LONG, /* long (a range of values) */
CURLOT_VALUES, /* (a defined set or bitmask) */
CURLOT_OFF_T, /* curl_off_t (a range of values) */
CURLOT_OBJECT, /* pointer (void *) */
CURLOT_STRING, /* (char * to zero terminated buffer) */
CURLOT_SLIST, /* (struct curl_slist *) */
CURLOT_CBPTR, /* (void * passed as-is to a callback) */
CURLOT_BLOB, /* blob (struct curl_blob *) */
CURLOT_FUNCTION /* function pointer */
} curl_easytype;
/* The CURLOPTTYPE_* id ranges can still be used to figure out what type/size
to use for curl_easy_setopt() for the given id */
struct curl_easyoption {

};

.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function returns a pointer to the first or the next curl_easyoption
struct, providing an ability to iterate over all known options for
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP in this instance of libcurl.
Pass a \fBNULL\fP argument as \fBprev\fP to get the first option returned, or
pass in the current option to get the next one returned. If there is no more
option to return, \fIcurl_easy_option_next(3)\fP returns NULL.
The options returned by this functions are the ones known to this libcurl and
information about what argument type they want.
If the \fBCURLOT_FLAG_ALIAS\fP bit is set in the flags field, it means the
name is provided for backwards compatibility as an alias.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
/* iterate over all available options */
const struct curl_easyoption *opt;
opt = curl_easy_option_by_next(NULL);
while(opt) {
printf("Name: %s\\n", opt->name);
opt = curl_easy_option_by_next(opt);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.73.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the curl_easyoption struct for the next option or NULL if no more
options.
