curl_mime_name(3) Library Functions Manual curl_mime_name(3)
NAME
curl_mime_name - set a mime part's name
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_name(curl_mimepart *part, const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_name(3) sets a mime part's name. This is the way HTTP form
fields are named.
part is the part's handle to assign a name to.
name points to the null-terminated name string.
The name string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may
safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's name multiple
times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained. It is
possible to reset the name of a part by setting name to NULL.
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http, imap and smtp
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
curl_mime *mime;
curl_mimepart *part;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* create a mime handle */
mime = curl_mime_init(curl);
/* add a part */
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
/* give the part a name */
curl_mime_name(part, "shoe_size");
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.56.0
RETURN VALUE
This function returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

buffer when non-zero is returned.
