CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)   curl_easy_setopt options   CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION - select condition for a time request

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, long cond);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  long  as  parameter. This defines how the CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)
       time value is treated. You can set this parameter to  CURL_TIMECOND_IF-
       MODSINCE or CURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE.

       The  last  modification  time of a file is not always known and in such
       instances this feature will have no effect even if the given time  con-
       dition   would   not  have  been  met.  curl_easy_getinfo(3)  with  the
       CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET option can be used after a transfer  to  learn
       if  a  zero-byte  successful  "transfer"  was due to this condition not
       matching.

DEFAULT
       CURL_TIMECOND_NONE (0)

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP, FTP, RTSP, and FILE

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);

         /* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);
