NAME

CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if something is wrong.

The path pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    CURLcode res;


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


    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);


    if(!res) {


      /* extract the entry path */


      char *ep = NULL;


      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);


      if(!res && ep) {


        printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);


      }


    }


    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);


  }
}
