GNURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)

💅 NAME — GNURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) edition 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to GNURLOPT_VERBOSE(3), part of the curl_easy_setopt options family ✨. This is the page for CURLOPT_VERBOSE — set verbose mode on/off. That's the assignment, no cap.

• CURLOPT_VERBOSE — set verbose mode on/off. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the sacred summoning spell, exactly as written:

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, long onoff);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Set the onoff parameter to 1 to make the library display a lot of verbose information about its operations on this handle. Very useful for libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information will be sent to stderr, or the stream set with CURLOPT_STDERR(3).

🚨 real talk, bestie: you hardly ever want this set in production use. You will almost always want this when you debug/report problems.

To also get all the protocol data sent and received, consider using CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3). That's the extra-lore option, iykyk 🔥.

🎀 DEFAULT 🎀

0, meaning disabled. so it's off unless you say otherwise, bestie 💤.

🌈 PROTOCOLS 🌈

All — every single one, slay.

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

here's the whole little ritual, copied exactly:

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

  /* ask libcurl to show us the verbose output */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);

  /* Perform the request */
  curl_easy_perform(curl);
}

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

Always — it's giving timeless icon behavior 👑.

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

Returns CURLE_OK — that's the good ending, periodt 💖.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

The SEE ALSO besties are: CURLOPT_STDERR(3), CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3), CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3), — yes, the trailing comma is real, no cap 💅
