CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)	   Library Functions Manual	  CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE - time	value for conditional

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, long val);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a	long val as parameter. This should be the time counted as sec-
       onds since 1 Jan	1970, and the time is used in a	condition as specified
       with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3).

       On systems with 32-bit 'long' variables (such as	Windows), this	option
       cannot	 set	dates	 beyond	  the	year   2038.   Consider	  CUR-
       LOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) instead.

	   /* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);

	   /* If-Modified-Since	the above time stamp */
