CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4(3)    Library Functions Manual	CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4 - IPv4 address to bind DNS resolves to

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4, char *address);

DESCRIPTION
     Set  the  local IPv4 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument
     should be of type char * and contain a single numerical IPv4 address  as  a
     string.  Set this option to NULL to use the default setting (do not bind to
     a specific IP address).

     The application does not have to keep the string around after setting  this
     option.

     Using  this  option  multiple  times makes the last set string override the
     previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT
     NULL

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4, "192.168.0.14");
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

NOTES
     This option requires that libcurl was built with a  resolver  backend  that
     supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.33.0

RETURN VALUE
     curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

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