.TH curl_mime_filedata 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_filedata - set a mime part's body data from a file contents
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_filedata(curl_mimepart * " part ,
.BI " const char * " filename ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_filedata() sets a mime part's body content from the named file's
contents.

\fIpart\fP is the part's to assign contents to.
\fIfilename\fP points to the nul-terminated file's path name. The pointer can
be NULL to detach previous part contents settings.
If \fIfilename\fP is "-", part contents data will be read from stdin.
Filename storage can be safely be reused after this call.

As a side effect, the part's remote file name is set to the base name of the
given \fIfilename\fP if it is a valid named file. This can be undone or
overriden by a subsequent call to \fIcurl_mime_filename\fP().

Setting a part's contents twice is valid: only the value set by the last call
is retained.

.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
