| .TH CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT 3 "30 Sep 2022" libcurl libcurl |
| .SH NAME |
| CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT \- allow to exit quickly |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT, |
| long value); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a timeout, |
| libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to avoid all kinds of |
| leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about to call exit() anyway. |
| This allows for a swift termination after a DNS timeout for example, by |
| canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver thread, at the expense of a |
| possible (though short-lived) leak of associated resources. |
| .SH DEFAULT |
| 0 |
| .SH PROTOCOLS |
| All |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| .nf |
| CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); |
| if(curl) { |
| CURLcode ret; |

| ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); |
| } |
| .fi |
