+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION \- set callback for setting socket options
+.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;
+
+#define CURL_SOCKOPT_OK 0
+#define CURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR 1 /* causes libcurl to abort and return
+ CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK */
+#define CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED 2
+
+int sockopt_callback(void *clientp,
+ curl_socket_t curlfd,
+ curlsocktype purpose);
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION, sockopt_callback);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
+shown above.
+
+When set, this callback function gets called by libcurl when the socket has
+been created, but before the connect call to allow applications to change
+specific socket options. The callback's \fIpurpose\fP argument identifies the
+exact purpose for this particular socket:
+
+\fICURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN\fP for actively created connections or since 7.28.0
+\fICURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT\fP for FTP when the connection was setup with PORT/EPSV
+(in earlier versions these sockets weren't passed to this callback).
+
+Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. libcurl passes the newly
+created socket descriptor to the callback so additional setsockopt() calls can
+be done at the user's discretion. Return \fICURL_SOCKOPT_OK\fP from the
+callback on success. Return \fICURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR\fP from the callback
+function to signal an unrecoverable error to the library and it will close the
+socket and return \fICURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT\fP.
+
+Alternatively, the callback function can return
+\fICURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED\fP, to tell libcurl that the socket is
+already connected and then libcurl will not attempt to connect it. This allows
+an application to pass in an already connected socket with
+\fICURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3)\fP and then have this function make libcurl
+not attempt to connect (again).
+.SH DEFAULT
+By default, this callback is NULL and unused.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.16.0. The \fICURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED\fP return code was
+added in 7.21.5.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+CURLE_OK
