#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, char *path);

Pass a char * to the null-terminated path name to the Entropy Gathering Daemon socket. It will be used to seed the random engine for TLS.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

NULL

All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, "/var/egd.socket");
  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

If built with TLS enabled. Only the OpenSSL backend will use this.
