NAME

CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - 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 or SFTP 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. The memory gets freed automatically when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.  

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects ftp and sftp  

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");

    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      /* extract the entry path */
      char *ep = NULL;
      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
      if(!result && ep) {
        printf("Entry path was: %sn", ep);
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

 

HISTORY
