CURLINFO_PRIVATE(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   CURLINFO_PRIVATE(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_PRIVATE	- get the private pointer

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle,	CURLINFO_PRIVATE, char **private);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a pointer to a char pointer to receive the	pointer	to the private
       data associated with the	curl handle (set with the CURLOPT_PRIVATE(3)).
       Please note that	for internal reasons, the value	is returned as a  char
       pointer,	although effectively being a 'void *'.

       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;
	   void	*pointer = (void *)0x2345454;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");

	   /* set the private pointer */
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PRIVATE, pointer);
	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	   /* extract the private pointer again	*/
	   res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIVATE, &pointer);

	   if(res)
	     printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));

	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }
