CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) Library Functions Manual CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) NAME CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT - allow libcurl to exit quickly SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT, long value); DESCRIPTION Pass a long as a parameter, 1L meaning that when recovering from a timeout, libcurl should skip lengthy cleanups that are intended to avoid all kinds of leaks (threads etc.), as the caller program is about to call exit() any- way. This allows for a swift termination after a DNS timeout for example, by canceling and/or forgetting about a resolver thread, at the expense of a possible (though short-lived) leak of associated resources. DEFAULT 20. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all supported protocols EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURLM *m = curl_multi_init(); /* do not join threads when cleaning up this multi handle */ curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT, 1L); } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 8.20.0 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). SEE ALSO CURLOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3) libcurl 2026-06-11 CURLMOPT_QUICK_EXIT(3)
