.TH CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI \- RTSP stream URI
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, char *URI);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Set the stream \fIURI\fP to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a
single session may be controlling \fIrtsp://foo/twister/audio\fP and
\fIrtsp://foo/twister/video\fP and the application can switch to the
appropriate stream using this option. If unset, libcurl will default to
operating on generic server options by passing '*' in the place of the RTSP
Stream URI. This option is distinct from \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP. When working
with RTSP, the \fICURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3)\fP indicates what URL to send to
the server in the request header while the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP indicates
where to make the connection to.  (e.g. the \fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP for the above
examples might be set to \fIrtsp://foo/twister\fP

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
