CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS - stream this transfer depends on
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS,
CURL *dephandle);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a CURL * pointer in dephandle to identify the stream within the
same connection that this stream is depending upon. This option clears
the exclusive bit and is mutually exclusive to the CURLOPT_STREAM_DE-
PENDS_E(3) option.
The spec says "Including a dependency expresses a preference to allo-
cate resources to the identified stream rather than to the dependent
stream."
This option can be set during transfer.
dephandle must not be the same as handle, that will cause this function
to return an error. It must be another easy handle, and it also needs
to be a handle of a transfer that will be sent over the same HTTP/2
connection for this option to have an actual effect.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
HTTP/2
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
CURL *curl2 = curl_easy_init(); /* a second handle */
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/one");
/* the second depends on the first */
curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/two");
curl_easy_setopt(curl2, CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS, curl);
/* then add both to a multi handle and transfer them! */
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.46.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
if not.
