       CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE - time value for conditional

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, long val);

       seconds since 1 Jan 1970, and the time will be used in a condition as
       specified with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3).

       On systems with 32 bit 'long' variables, this option cannot set dates
       beyond the year 2038. Consider CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) instead.
