.TH CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT 3 "30 Sep 2022" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT \- allow to exit quickly
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT,
long value);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a timeout,
libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to avoid all kinds of
leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about to call exit() anyway.
This allows for a swift termination after a DNS timeout for example, by
canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver thread, at the expense of a
possible (though short-lived) leak of associated resources.
.SH DEFAULT
0
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.87.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR CURLOPT_FAILONERROR (3),
.BR CURLOPT_RESOLVE (3)
