CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET(3)

💅 CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET(3) 💅

okay so real talk, this one's from the Library Functions Manual and it is literally a ghost of curl past — but bestie, we still gotta know it exists, so here we go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET — the EGD socket path 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, char *path);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a deprecated option, mmkay? It serves no purpose anymore. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "still in the building but doesn't work here anymore" 💀

---

🔥 DEFAULT 🔥

NULL

like, nothing, nada, the void 🕳️

---

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

Heads up bestie — this option was deprecated in 7.84.0. It's retired. Off the clock. Not coming back 😭

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

Added back in curl 7.7 — ancient history, iykyk 👑

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error, no cap.

CURLE_OK (which is 0, bestie) means everything was OK ✨ — anything non-zero means an error occurred, so go check libcurl-errors(3) 👀

---

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

• CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE(3)
