GNURLINFO...ECT_TIME_T(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the curl_easy_getinfo options corner of the gnurl manual — the page name up top is GNURLINFO...ECT_TIME_T(3). The main character here is CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T, and its whole thing is: get the time for all redirection steps. Periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T,
curl_off_t *timep);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the vibe is: you pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the total time, in microseconds, it took for all the redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer before the final transaction was started. CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T contains the complete execution time for multiple redirections. Literally the whole redirect-era timeline, bestie. 🫶

Also see the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page — yes, that's your required reading, iykyk. 👑

🌈 PROTOCOLS 🌈

All. Every single one, slay. 💯

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_off_t redirect;

  res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  if(CURLE_OK == res) {
    res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T, &redirect);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      printf("Time: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld", redirect / 1000000,
             (long)(redirect % 1000000));
    }
  }
  /* always cleanup */
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
