CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP(3)              libcurl             CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP(3)


NAME

       CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP - get IP address of last connection


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP, char **ip);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-
       terminated string holding the IP address of the most recent connection
       done with this curl handle. This string may be IPv6 when that is
       enabled. Note that you get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-
       used at next request so you need to copy the string if you want to keep
       the information.

       The ip pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT
       free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
       corresponding CURL handle.


PROTOCOLS

       All network based ones


EXAMPLE

       {
         char *ip;

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

         /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         /* Check for errors */
         if((res == CURLE_OK) &&
            !curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP, &ip) && ip) {
           printf("IP: %s\n", ip);
         }

         /* always cleanup */
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
