Pass a char * as parameter. This sets the interface name to use as outgoing
network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address, or a host
name.
+
+Starting with 7.24.0: If the parameter starts with "if!" then it is treated as
+only as interface name and no attempt will ever be named to do treat it as an
+IP address or to do name resolution on it. If the parameter starts with
+\&"host!" it is treated as either an IP address or a hostname. Hostnames are
+resolved synchronously. Using the if! format is highly recommended when using
+the multi interfaces to avoid allowing the code to block. If "if!" is
+specified but the parameter does not match an existing interface,
+CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED is returned.
.IP CURLOPT_LOCALPORT
Pass a long. This sets the local port number of the socket used for
connection. This can be used in combination with \fICURLOPT_INTERFACE\fP and
