NAME

CURLOPT_VERBOSE - verbose mode

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, long onoff);

DESCRIPTION

Set the onoff parameter to 1 to make the library display a lot of verbose information about its operations on this handle. Useful for libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information is sent to stderr, or the stream set with CURLOPT_STDERR(3). You hardly ever want this enabled in production use, you almost always want this used when you debug/report problems. To also get all the protocol data sent and received, consider using the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3).

DEFAULT

0, meaning disabled.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* ask libcurl to show us the verbose output */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK
