CURLINFO_REFERER(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   CURLINFO_REFERER(3)

NAME
       CURLINFO_REFERER	- get the used referrer	request	header

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle,	CURLINFO_REFERER, char **hdrp);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the referrer	header used in

	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://example.org/referrer");
	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	   if(res == CURLE_OK) {
	     char *hdr = NULL;
	     curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REFERER, &hdr);
	     if(hdr)
	       printf("Referrer	header:	%s\n", hdr);
	   }
	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
