CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3)	    Library Functions Manual	    CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA - pointer passed to the debug callback

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a  pointer  to whatever you want passed in to your CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNC-
     TION(3) in the last void * argument. This pointer is not used  by	libcurl,
     it is only passed to the callback.

DEFAULT
     NULL

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE
     struct data {
       void *custom;
     };

     static int my_trace(CURL *handle, curl_infotype type,
			 char *data, size_t size,
			 void *clientp)
     {
       struct data *mine = clientp;
       printf("our ptr: %p\n", mine->custom);

       /* output debug info */
       return 0;
     }

     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl;
       CURLcode result;
       struct data my_tracedata;

       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION, my_trace);

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, &my_tracedata);

	 /* the DEBUGFUNCTION has no effect until we enable VERBOSE */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	 /* always cleanup */
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
       return 0;
     }

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.9.6
