The callback's *purpose* argument identifies the 51 exact purpose for this particular socket: 52 53 *CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN* for actively created connections or since 7.28.0 54 *CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT* for FTP when the connection was setup with PORT/EPSV 55 (in earlier versions these sockets were not passed to this callback). 56 57 Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. libcurl passes the newly 58 created socket descriptor to the callback in the *curlfd* parameter so 59 additional setsockopt() calls can be done at the user's discretion. 60 61 The *clientp* pointer contains whatever user-defined value set using the 62 CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA(3) function. 63 64 Return *CURL_SOCKOPT_OK* from the callback on success. Return 65 *CURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR* from the callback function to signal an unrecoverable 66 error to the library and it closes the socket and returns 67 *CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT*. Alternatively, the callback function can return 68 *CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED*, to tell libcurl that the socket is 69 already connected and then libcurl does no attempt to connect. This allows an 70 application to pass in an already connected socket with 71 CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3) and then have this function make libcurl 72 not attempt to connect (again). 73 74 # DEFAULT 75 76 NULL 77 78 # %PROTOCOLS% 79 80 # EXAMPLE 81 82 ~~~c 83 /* make libcurl use the already established socket 'sockfd' */ 84 85 static curl_socket_t opensocket(void *clientp, 86 curlsocktype purpose, 87 struct curl_sockaddr *address) 88 { 89 curl_socket_t sockfd; 90 sockfd = *(curl_socket_t *)clientp; 91 /* the actual externally set socket is passed in via the OPENSOCKETDATA 92 option */ 93 return sockfd; 94 } 95 96 static int sockopt_callback(void *clientp, curl_socket_t curlfd, 97 curlsocktype purpose) 98 { 99 /* This return code was added in libcurl 7.21.5 */ 100 return CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED; 101 } 102 103 int main(void) 104 { 105 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 106 if(curl) { 107 CURLcode res; 108 int sockfd; /* our custom file descriptor */ 109 /* libcurl thinks that you connect to the host 110 * and port that you specify in the URL option. */ 111 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://99.99.99.99:9999"); 112 /* call this function to get a socket */ 113 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION, opensocket); 114 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA, &sockfd); 115 116 /* call this function to set options for the socket */ 117 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION, sockopt_callback); 118 119 res = curl_easy_perform(curl); 120 121 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 122 } 123 } 124 ~~~ 125 126 # %AVAILABILITY% 127 128 # RETURN VALUE 129 130 curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 131 132 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 133 libcurl-errors(3).
