CURLINFO_CAPATH(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_CAPATH(3)
NAME
CURLINFO_CAPATH - get the default built-in CA path string
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CAPATH, char **path);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-termi-
nated string holding the default built-in path used for the CURLOPT_CAP-
ATH(3) option unless set by the user.
Note that in a situation where libcurl has been built to support multi-
ple TLS libraries, this option might return a string even if the spe-
cific TLS library currently set to be used does not support CURLOPT_CAP-
ATH(3).
This is a path identifying a directory.
The path pointer is set to NULL if there is no default path.
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS,
POP3S, SMTPS etc.
This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS, OpenSSL,
mbedTLS and wolfSSL
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
char *capath = NULL;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CAPATH, &capath);
if(capath) {
printf("default ca path: %s\n", capath);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.84.0
RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
