.TH CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT \- life-time for DNS cache entries
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, long age);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a long, this sets the timeout in seconds. Name resolves will be kept in
|
|
memory and used for this number of seconds. Set to zero to completely disable
|
|
caching, or set to -1 to make the cached entries remain forever. By default,
|
|
libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds.
|
|
|
|
The name resolve functions of various libc implementations do not re-read name
|
|
server information unless explicitly told so (for example, by calling
|
|
\fIres_init(3)\fP). This may cause libcurl to keep using the older server even
|
|
if DHCP has updated the server info, and this may look like a DNS cache issue
|
|
to the casual libcurl-app user.
|
|
|
|
Note that DNS entries have a "TTL" property but libcurl does not use that. This
|
|
DNS cache timeout is entirely speculative that a name will resolve to the same
|
|
address for a certain small amount of time into the future.
