CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6(3) | curl_easy_setopt options | CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6 - IPv6 address to bind DNS resolves to
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6, char *address);
DESCRIPTION¶
Set the local IPv6 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument should be of type char * and contain a single IPv6 address as a string. Set this option to NULL to use the default setting (don't bind to a specific IP address).
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
DEFAULT¶
NULL
PROTOCOLS¶
All
EXAMPLE¶
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6, "fe80::a9ff:fe46:b619");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl); }
AVAILABILITY¶
This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.
Added in 7.33.0
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if support was disabled at compile-time, or CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT when given a bad address.
