CURLMOPT_N...RK_CHANGED(3) Library Functions Manual CURLMOPT_N...RK_CHANGED(3)

NAME
       CURLMOPT_NETWORK_CHANGED	- signal network changed

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_NETWORK_CHANGED,
				   long	value);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl how the multi handle	should
       react.  The following values in the mask	are defined. All bits not men-
       tioned are reserved for future extensions.

       This option can be set at any time and repeatedly. Each call  only  af-
       fects the currently cached connections and DNS information. Any connec-
       tion  created  or  DNS information added	afterwards is cached the usual
       way again. Phrasing it another way: the option  is  not	persisted  but
       setting it serves as a "trigger"	to clear the caches.

       The  call affects only the connection and DNS cache of the multi	handle
       itself and not the ones owned by	SHARE handles.

       CURLMNWC_CLEAR_ALL
	      Clear everything.	(Added in 8.20.0)

       CURLMNWC_CLEAR_CONNS
	      No longer	reuse any existing connection in  the  multi  handle's
	      connection  cache.  This	closes all connections that are	not in
	      use. Ongoing transfers continue on the connections they  operate
	      on.

       CURLMNWC_CLEAR_DNS
	      Clear the	multi handle's DNS cache. Ongoing transfers keep using
	      their  already  resolved	addresses, but future name resolutions
	      are performed again.

DEFAULT
       0, which	has no effect.

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects all supported	protocols

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
	 /* do transfers on the	multi handle */
	 /* do not reuse existing connections */
	 curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_NETWORK_CHANGED,	CURLMNWC_CLEAR_CONNS);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 8.16.0

RETURN VALUE
       curl_multi_setopt(3) returns a CURLMcode	indicating success or error.

       CURLM_OK	(0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
       see libcurl-errors(3).

       CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3),	CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT(3)
