7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle,  CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6,  char
12       *address);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Set the local IPv6 address that the resolver should bind to. The  argu‐
16       ment  should  be  of type char * and contain a single IPv6 address as a
17       string.  Set this option to NULL to use the default setting (don't bind
18       to a specific IP address).
19
20       The  application  does not have to keep the string around after setting
21       this option.

EXAMPLE

30       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
31       if(curl) {
32         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
33         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6, "fe80::a9ff:fe46:b619");
34         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
35         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
36       }
37

AVAILABILITY

39       This option requires that libcurl was built  with  a  resolver  backend
40       that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.
