NAME

6       CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION - select condition for a time request
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       Pass  a  long  as  parameter. This defines how the CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)
15       time value is treated. You can set this parameter to  CURL_TIMECOND_IF‐
16       MODSINCE or CURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE.
17
18       The  last  modification  time of a file is not always known and in such
19       instances this feature will have no effect even if the given time  con‐
20       dition   would   not  have  been  met.  curl_easy_getinfo(3)  with  the
21       CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET option can be used after a transfer  to  learn
22       if  a  zero-byte  successful  "transfer"  was due to this condition not
23       matching.
