.TH curl_easy_perform 3 "5 Mar 2001" "libcurl 7.7" "libcurl Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_perform - Perform a file transfer
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *" handle ");
|
|
.ad
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is called after the init and all the curl_easy_setopt() calls
|
|
are made, and will perform the transfer as described in the options.
|
|
It must be called with the same
|
|
.I handle
|
|
as input as the curl_easy_init call returned.
|
|
|
|
libcurl version 7.7 or later (for older versions see below): You can do any
|
|
amount of calls to curl_easy_perform() while using the same handle. If you
|
|
intend to transfer more than one file, you are even encouraged to do
|
|
so. libcurl will then attempt to re-use the same connection for the following
|
|
transfers, thus making the operations faster, less CPU intense and using less
|
|
network resources. Just note that you will have to use
|
|
.I curl_easy_setopt
|
|
between the invokes to set options for the following curl_easy_perform.
|
|
|
|
You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the
|
|
same handle. Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If
|
|
you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl handles.
|
|
|
|
Before libcurl version 7.7: You are only allowed to call this function once
|
|
using the same handle. If you want to do repeated calls, you must call
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup and curl_easy_init again first.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
0 means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred as
|
|
.I <curl/curl.h>
|
|
defines. If the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER was set with
|
|
.I curl_easy_setopt
|
|
there will be a readable error message in the error buffer when non-zero is
|
|
returned.
