- .SH NAME
- CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS \- get number of created connections
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- #include <curl/curl.h>
- CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, long *nump);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to
- create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are
- counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT(3)\fP you are able to know how
- many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See the
- connection options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries to make
- persistent connections to save time.
- .SH PROTOCOLS
- This functionality affects all supported protocols
- .SH EXAMPLE
- .nf
- int main(void)
- {
- CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
- if(curl) {
- CURLcode res;
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
- res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
- if(res == CURLE_OK) {
- long connects;
- res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, &connects);
- if(!res)
- printf("It needed %ld connects\\n", connects);
- }
- curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
- }
- }
- .fi
- .SH AVAILABILITY
- Added in curl 7.12.3
