+.TH GNURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL 3 "5 Feb 2019" "libcurl 7.64.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL \- control alt-svc behavior
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <gnurl/curl.h>
+
+#define CURLALTSVC_IMMEDIATELY (1<<0)
+#define CURLALTSVC_ALTUSED (1<<1)
+#define CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE (1<<2)
+#define CURLALTSVC_H1 (1<<3)
+#define CURLALTSVC_H2 (1<<4)
+#define CURLALTSVC_H3 (1<<5)
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL, long bitmask);
+.fi
+.SH EXPERIMENTAL
+Warning: this feature is early code and is marked as experimental. It can only
+be enabled by explicitly telling configure with \fB--enable-alt-svc\fP. You are
+advised to not ship this in production before the experimental label is
+removed.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Populate the long \fIbitmask\fP with the correct set of features to instruct
+libcurl how to handle Alt-Svc for the transfers using this handle.
+
+libcurl will only accept Alt-Svc headers over a secure transport, meaning
+HTTPS. It will also only complete a request to an alternative origin if that
+origin is properly hosted over HTTPS. These requirements are there to make
+sure both the source and the destination are legitimate.
+
+Setting any bit will enable the alt-svc engine.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_IMMEDIATELY"
+If an Alt-Svc: header is received, this instructs libcurl to switch to one of
+those alternatives asap rather than to save it and use for the next request.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_ALTUSED"
+Issue the Alt-Used: header in all requests that have been redirected by
+alt-svc.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE"
+Do not write the alt-svc cache back to the file specified with
+\fICURLOPT_ALTSVC(3)\fP even if it gets updated. By default a file specified
+with that option will be read and written to as deemed necessary.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_H1"
+Accept alternative services offered over HTTP/1.1.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_H2"
+Accept alternative services offered over HTTP/2. This will only be used if
+libcurl was also built to actually support HTTP/2, otherwise this bit will be
+ignored.
+.IP "CURLALTSVC_H3"
+Accept alternative services offered over HTTP/3. This will only be used if
+libcurl was also built to actually support HTTP/3, otherwise this bit will be
+ignored.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0. No Alt-Svc treatment.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+HTTPS
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+if(curl) {
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL, CURLALTSVC_H1);
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ALTSVC, "altsvc-cache.txt");
+ curl_easy_perform(curl);
+}
+.fi
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.64.1
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
