    NAME

CURLOPT_ALTSVC - alt-svc cache filename

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ALTSVC, char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

Pass in a pointer to a filename to instruct libcurl to use that file as the Alt-Svc cache to read existing cache contents from and possibly also write it back to after a transfer, unless CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE is set in CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL(3).

Specify a blank filename ("") to make libcurl not load from a file at all.

DEFAULT

NULL. The alt-svc cache is not read nor written to file.
