CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)                libcurl               CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)


NAME

       CURLINFO_FILETIME_T - get the remote time of the retrieved document


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FILETIME_T,
                                  curl_off_t *timep);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the remote time of the
       retrieved document in number of seconds since January 1 1970 in the
       GMT/UTC time zone. If you get -1, it can be because of many reasons (it
       might be unknown, the server might hide it or the server does not
       support the command that tells document time etc) and the time of the
       document is unknown.

       You must ask libcurl to collect this information before the transfer is
       made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME(3) option to curl_easy_setopt(3) or
       you will unconditionally get a -1 back.

       This option is an alternative to CURLINFO_FILETIME(3) to allow systems
       with 32 bit long variables to extract dates outside of the 32bit
       timestamp range.


PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP


EXAMPLE

       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
         /* Ask for filetime */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L);
         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         if(CURLE_OK == res) {
           curl_off_t filetime;
           res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME_T, &filetime);
           if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) {
             time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime;
             printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time));
           }
         }
         /* always cleanup */
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
