CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE - time value for conditional

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, long val);

DESCRIPTION

On systems with 32-bit 'long' variables (such as Windows), this option cannot set dates beyond the year 2038. Consider CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) instead.
