NAME

6       CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6 - IPv6 address to bind DNS resolves to
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

EXAMPLE

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

AVAILABILITY

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

RETURN VALUE

44       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is  supported,  CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION  if
45       not,  CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN  if  support  was disabled at compile-time, or
46       CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT when given a bad address.
