NAME

6       CURLOPT_RESOLVER_START_FUNCTION  -  set  callback to be called before a
7       new resolve request is started
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <curl/curl.h>
11
12       int resolver_start_cb(void *resolver_state, void *reserved, void *userdata);
13
14       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle,
15                                 CURLOPT_RESOLVER_START_FUNCTION,
16                                 resolver_start_cb);
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the proto‐
20       type shown above.
21
22       This  callback  function gets called by libcurl every time before a new
23       resolve request is started.
24
25       resolver_state points to a backend-specific resolver  state.  Currently
26       only  the ares resolver backend has a resolver state. It can be used to
27       set up any desired option on the ares channel  before  it's  used,  for
28       example setting up socket callback options.
29
30       reserved is reserved.
31
32       userdata     is    the    user    pointer    set    with    the    CUR‐
33       LOPT_RESOLVER_START_DATA(3) option.
34
35       The callback must return 0 on success. Returning a non-zero value  will
36       cause the resolve to fail.
37

DEFAULT

39       NULL (No callback)

47       {
48         (void)reserved;
49         printf("Received resolver_state=%p userdata=%p\n",
50                resolver_state, userdata);
51         return 0;
52       }
