| .TH curl_mime_type 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| curl_mime_type - set a mime part's content type |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| .sp |
| .BI "CURLcode curl_mime_type(curl_mimepart * " part , |
| .BI "const char * " mimetype ");" |
| .ad |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fIcurl_mime_type(3)\fP sets a mime part's content type. |
| |
| \fIpart\fP is the part's handle to assign the content type to. |
| |
| \fImimetype\fP points to the nul-terminated file mime type string; it may be |
| set to NULL to remove a previously attached mime type. |
| |
| The mime type string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may |
| safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's type twice is valid: |
| only the value set by the last call is retained. |
| |
| In the absence of a mime type and if needed by the protocol specifications, |
| a default mime type is determined by the context: |
| .br |
| - If set as a custom header, use this value. |
| .br |
| - application/form-data for a HTTP form post. |
| .br |
| - If a remote file name is set, the mime type is taken from the file name |
| extension, or application/octet-stream by default. |
| .br |
| - For a multipart part, multipart/mixed. |
| .br |
| - text/plain in other cases. |
| .SH AVAILABILITY |
| As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure. |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| .nf |
| curl_mime *mime; |
| curl_mimepart *part; |
| |
| /* create a mime handle */ |
| mime = curl_mime_init(easy); |
| |
| /* add a part */ |
| part = curl_mime_addpart(mime); |
| |
| /* get data from this file */ |
| curl_mime_filedata(part, "image.png"); |
| |
| /* content-type for this part */ |
| curl_mime_type(part, "image/png"); |
| |
| /* set name */ |
| curl_mime_name(part, "image"); |
