+.TH GNURLINFO_FILETIME 3 "25 Jan 2018" "libcurl 7.59.0" "curl_easy_getinfo options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLINFO_FILETIME_T \- get the remote time of the retrieved document
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <gnurl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FILETIME_T, curl_off_t *timep);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the remote time of the retrieved
+document (in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If
+you get -1, it can be because of many reasons (it might be unknown, the server
+might hide it or the server doesn't support the command that tells document
+time etc) and the time of the document is unknown.
+
+You must ask libcurl to collect this information before the transfer is made,
+by using the \fICURLOPT_FILETIME(3)\fP option to \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP or
+you will unconditionally get a -1 back.
+
+This option is an alternative to \fICURLINFO_FILETIME(3)\fP to allow systems
+with 32 bit long variables to extract dates outside of the 32bit timestamp
+range.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+curl = curl_easy_init();
+if(curl) {
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
+ /* Ask for filetime */
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L);
+ res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
+ if(CURLE_OK == res) {
+ curl_off_t filetime;
+ res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME_T, &filetime);
+ if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) {
+ time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime;
+ printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time));
+ }
+ }
+ /* always cleanup */
+ curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.59.0
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
