CURLINFO_CAPATH(3) Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_CAPATH(3)

NAME

CURLINFO_CAPATH - get the default built-in CA path string

SYNOPSIS


#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CAPATH, char **path);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-terminated string holding the default built-in path used for the CURLOPT_CAPATH(3) option unless set by the user.
 
Note that in a situation where libcurl has been built to support multiple TLS libraries, this option might return a string even if the specific TLS library currently set to be used does not support CURLOPT_CAPATH(3).
 
This is a path identifying a directory.
 
The path pointer is set to NULL if there is no default path.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
 
This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS, OpenSSL, mbedTLS and wolfSSL

EXAMPLE


int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
char *capath = NULL;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CAPATH, &capath);
if(capath) {
printf("default ca path: %s\n", capath);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.84.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
