The third argument \fBMUST\fP be a pointer to a long, a pointer to a char *, a pointer to a struct curl_slist * or a pointer to a double (as this documentation describes further down). The data pointed-to will be filled in accordingly and can be relied upon only if the function returns CURLE_OK. Use this function AFTER a performed transfer if you want to get transfer related data. You should not free the memory returned by this function unless it is explicitly mentioned below. .SH AVAILABLE INFORMATION The following information can be extracted: .IP CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL Last used URL.

The time it took from the start until the name resolving was completed. .IP CONNECT \fICURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME_T\fP. The time it took from the start until the connect to the remote host (or proxy) was completed. .IP APPCONNECT \fICURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME_T\fP. The time it took from the start until the SSL connect/handshake with the remote host was completed. (Added in 7.19.0) The latter is the integer version (measuring microseconds). (Added in 7.60.0) .IP PRETRANSFER \fICURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T\fP. The time it took from the start until the file transfer is just about to begin. This includes all pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are specific to the particular protocol(s) involved. .IP STARTTRANSFER \fICURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T\fP. The time it took from the start until the first byte is received by libcurl. .IP TOTAL \fICURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME_T\fP. Total time of the previous request. .IP REDIRECT \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME\fP and \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T\fP. The time it took for all redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer before final transaction was started. So, this is zero if no redirection took place. .SH RETURN VALUE If the operation was successful, CURLE_OK is returned. Otherwise an appropriate error code will be returned. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR curl_easy_setopt "(3)"
