23 .TH CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
24 .SH NAME
25 CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER \- set error buffer for error messages
26 .SH SYNOPSIS
27 #include <curl/curl.h>
28
29 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, char *buf);
30 .SH DESCRIPTION
31 Pass a char * to a buffer that libcurl \fBmay\fP store human readable error
32 messages on failures or problems. This may be more helpful than just the
33 return code from \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP and related functions. The buffer
34 \fBmust be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE bytes big\fP.
35
36 You must keep the associated buffer available until libcurl no longer needs
37 it. Failing to do so will cause very odd behavior or even crashes. libcurl
38 will need it until you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP or you set the same
39 option again to use a different pointer.
40
41 Do not rely on the contents of the buffer unless an error code was returned.
42 Since 7.60.0 libcurl will initialize the contents of the error buffer to an
43 empty string before performing the transfer. For earlier versions if an error
44 code was returned but there was no error detail then the buffer is untouched.
45
46 Consider \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP to better
47 debug and trace why errors happen.
