CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string
holding the path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl
ended up in when logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a
NULL as pointer if something is wrong.
The path pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free
- it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding
curl handle.
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects ftp only
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
/* extract the entry path */
char *ep = NULL;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
if(!res && ep) {
printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);
}
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
