NAME

6       CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE - number of additional local ports to try
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE,
12                                 long range);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass  a long. The range argument is the number of attempts libcurl will
16       make to find a working local port number. It starts with the given CUR‐
17       LOPT_LOCALPORT(3)  and  adds  one to the number for each retry. Setting
18       this option to 1 or below will make libcurl do only  one  try  for  the
19       exact  port  number.  Port  numbers by nature are scarce resources that
20       will be busy at times so setting this value to something too low  might
21       cause unnecessary connection setup failures.
