.TH CURLOPT_CURLU 3 "28 Oct 2018" "libcurl 7.63.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CURLU \- URL in CURLU * format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, void *pointer);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the \fIURL\fP to work with. The parameter should be a
CURLU *. Setting \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP will explicitly override
\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP.

\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP \fBmust\fP be set before a
transfer is started.

libcurl will use this handle and its contents read-only and will not change
its contents. An application can update the contents of the URL handle after a
transfer is done and if the same handle is then used in a subsequent request
the updated contents will then be used.
.SH DEFAULT
The default value of this parameter is NULL.
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *handle = curl_easy_init();
CURLU *urlp = curl_url();
int res = 0;
if(curl) {

  res = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);

  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);

  ret = curl_easy_perform(handle);
