int debug_callback(CURL *handle,
curl_infotype type,
char *data,
size_t size,
void *clientp);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION,
debug_callback);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the
prototype shown above.
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) replaces the standard debug function used when
CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) is in effect. This callback receives debug
information, as specified in the type argument. This function must
return 0. The data pointed to by the char * passed to this function is
not null-terminated, but is exactly of the size as told by the size
argument.
The clientp argument is the pointer set with CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3).
Available curl_infotype values:
CURLINFO_TEXT
The data is informational text.
CURLINFO_HEADER_IN
The data is header (or header-like) data received from the peer.
CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT
The data is header (or header-like) data sent to the peer.
CURLINFO_DATA_IN
The data is the unprocessed protocol data received from the
peer. Even if the data is encoded or compressed, it is not
provided decoded nor decompressed to this callback. If you need
the data in decoded and decompressed form, use
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3).
CURLINFO_DATA_OUT
The data is protocol data sent to the peer.
CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT
The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data sent to the peer.
CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN
The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data received from the peer.
WARNING: This callback may be called with the curl handle set to
an internal handle. (Added in 8.4.0)
If you need to distinguish your curl handle from internal
handles then set CURLOPT_PRIVATE(3) on your handle.
