  CURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN,  /* socket created for a specific IP connection */
  CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT, /* socket created by accept() call */
  CURLSOCKTYPE_LAST    /* never use */

int sockopt_callback(void *clientp,
                     curl_socket_t curlfd,

.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.

When set, this callback function gets called by libcurl when the socket has
been created, but before the connect call to allow applications to change
specific socket options. The callback\(aqs \fIpurpose\fP argument identifies the
exact purpose for this particular socket:

\fICURLSOCKTYPE_IPCXN\fP for actively created connections or since 7.28.0
\fICURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT\fP for FTP when the connection was setup with PORT/EPSV
(in earlier versions these sockets were not passed to this callback).

Future versions of libcurl may support more purposes. libcurl passes the newly
created socket descriptor to the callback in the \fIcurlfd\fP parameter so
additional setsockopt() calls can be done at the user\(aqs discretion.

The \fIclientp\fP pointer contains whatever user\-defined value set using the
\fICURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA(3)\fP function.

Return \fICURL_SOCKOPT_OK\fP from the callback on success. Return
\fICURL_SOCKOPT_ERROR\fP from the callback function to signal an unrecoverable
error to the library and it closes the socket and returns
\fICURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT\fP. Alternatively, the callback function can return
\fICURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED\fP, to tell libcurl that the socket is
already connected and then libcurl does no attempt to connect. This allows an
application to pass in an already connected socket with
\fICURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION(3)\fP and then have this function make libcurl
not attempt to connect (again).
