CURLOPT_FILETIME(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     CURLOPT_FILETIME(3)

NAME
     CURLOPT_FILETIME - get the modification time of the remote resource

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FILETIME, long gettime);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass  a  long. If it is 1, libcurl attempts to get the modification time of
     the remote document in this operation. This requires that the remote server
     sends the time or replies to a time querying  command.  The  curl_easy_get-
     info(3) function with the CURLINFO_FILETIME(3) argument can be used after a
     transfer to extract the received time (if any).

DEFAULT
     0

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects file, ftp, http, sftp and smb

EXAMPLE
     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/path.html");
	 /* Ask for filetime */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L);
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	   long filetime;
	   result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime);
	   if((result == CURLE_OK) && (filetime >= 0)) {
	     time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime;
	     printf("filetime: %s", ctime(&file_time));
	   }
	 }
	 /* always cleanup */
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }

AVAILABILITY
     Added in curl 7.5

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).
