CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_PREQUOTE	- commands to run before an FTP	transfer

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE,
				 struct	curl_slist *cmds);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a	pointer	to a linked list of FTP	commands to pass to the	server
       after the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid
       list of struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as	described  for
       CURLOPT_QUOTE(3).

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

       libcurl	does not copy the list,	it needs to be kept around until after
       the transfer has	completed.

       These commands are not performed	when a directory listing is performed,
       only for	file transfers.

       While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for	SFTP, this op-
       tion does not.

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 struct	curl_slist *cmdlist = NULL;
	 cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "SYST");

	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");

	   /* pass in the FTP commands to run */
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE, cmdlist);

	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
	 curl_slist_free_all(cmdlist);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 7.9.5

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).
