GNURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA(3)

💅 GNURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is part of the curl_easy_setopt options manual, and it's here to explain a tiny but iconic little setting: the custom pointer you pass to your progress callback. no cap, it's giving "just a pointer" but it's actually useful 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

• CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA — custom pointer passed to the progress callback

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA, void
*pointer);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

You pass in a pointer, and libcurl will leave it completely untouched. It just hands that same pointer back to you as the first argument in the progress callback you set with CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION(3). literally that's it, and that's the vibe 🫶

---

🎀 DEFAULT 🎀

The default value of this parameter is NULL.
