DESCRIPTION

32       Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the proto‐
33       type shown above.
34
35       CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) replaces the standard debug function used when
36       CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)  is in effect. This callback receives debug informa‐
37       tion, as specified in the type argument. This function must  return  0.
38       The  data  pointed to by the char * passed to this function WILL NOT be
39       null-terminated, but will be exactly of the size as told  by  the  size
40       argument.
41
42       The userptr argument is the pointer set with CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3).
43
44       Available curl_infotype values:
45
46       CURLINFO_TEXT
47              The data is informational text.
48
49       CURLINFO_HEADER_IN
50              The data is header (or header-like) data received from the peer.
51
52       CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT
53              The data is header (or header-like) data sent to the peer.
54
55       CURLINFO_DATA_IN
56              The data is protocol data received from the peer.
57
58       CURLINFO_DATA_OUT
59              The data is protocol data sent to the peer.
60
61       CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT
62              The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data sent to the peer.
63
64       CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN
65              The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data received from the peer.
