+.TH CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION \- set callback for openening socket
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+typedef enum {
+ CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN, /* socket created for a specific IP connection */
+ CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT, /* socket created by accept() call */
+ CURLSOCKTYPE_LAST /* never use */
+} curlsocktype;
+
+struct curl_sockaddr {
+ int family;
+ int socktype;
+ int protocol;
+ unsigned int addrlen;
+ struct sockaddr addr;
+};
+
+curl_socket_t opensocket_callback(void *clientp,
+ curlsocktype purpose,
+ struct curl_sockaddr *address);
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION, opensocket_callback);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above.
+
+This callback function gets called by libcurl instead of the \fIsocket(2)\fP
+call. The callback's \fIpurpose\fP argument identifies the exact purpose for
+this particular socket: \fICURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN\fP is for IP based connections
+and \fICURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT\fP is for sockets created after accept() - such as
+when doing active FTP. Future versions of libcurl may support more
+purposes.
+
+The callback gets the resolved peer address as the \fIaddress\fP argument and
+is allowed to modify the address or refuse to connect completely. The callback
+function should return the newly created socket or \fICURL_SOCKET_BAD\fP in
+case no connection could be established or another error was detected. Any
+additional \fIsetsockopt(2)\fP calls can of course be done on the socket at
+the user's discretion. A \fICURL_SOCKET_BAD\fP return value from the callback
+function will signal an unrecoverable error to libcurl and it will return
+\fICURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT\fP from the function that triggered this callback.
+This return code can be used for IP address blacklisting.
+
+If you want to pass in a socket with an already established connection, pass
+the socket back with this callback and then use
+\fICURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION(3)\fP to signal that it already is connected.
+.SH DEFAULT
+The default behavior is the equivalent of this:
+.nf
+ return socket(addr->family, addr->socktype, addr->protocol);
+.fi
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.17.1.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
