CURLINFO_...FER_TIME_T(3)  Library Functions Manual  CURLINFO_...FER_TIME_T(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T - time to transfer start

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle,	CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T,
				  curl_off_t *timep);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the time, in microseconds, it
       took from the start until the file transfer is about to begin.

       This  time-stamp	 includes  all	pre-transfer commands and negotiations
       that are	specific to the	particular protocol(s) involved.  It  includes
       the sending of the protocol-specific instructions that trigger a	trans-
       fer.

       When  a	redirect  is followed, the time	from each request is added to-
       gether.

       See also	the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects all supported	protocols

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode result;
	   curl_off_t pretransfer;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
	   result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	   if(result ==	CURLE_OK) {
	     result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T,
					&pretransfer);
	     if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	       printf("Time: %"	CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld\n",
		      pretransfer / 1000000,
		      (long)(pretransfer % 1000000));
	     }
	   }
	   /* always cleanup */
	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }
