CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS(3) NAME CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS - number of created connections SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, long *nump); DESCRIPTION Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are counted). Combined with CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT(3) you are able to know how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See the connection options of curl_easy_setopt(3) to see how libcurl tries to make persistent connections to save time. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all supported protocols EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L); result = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(result == CURLE_OK) { long connects; result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, &connects); if(result == CURLE_OK) printf("It needed %ld connects\n", connects); } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.12.3 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3). SEE ALSO curl_easy_getinfo(3), curl_easy_setopt(3) libcurl 2026-06-11 CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS(3)
