.SH NAME
curl_easy_perform - perform a blocking file transfer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *" easy_handle ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
Invoke this function after \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP and all the
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP calls are made, and will perform the transfer as
described in the options. It must be called with the same \fBeasy_handle\fP as
input as the \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP call returned.
\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP performs the entire request in a blocking manner
and returns when done, or if it failed. For non-blocking behavior, see
\fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP.
You can do any amount of calls to \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP while using the
same \fBeasy_handle\fP. If you intend to transfer more than one file, you are
even encouraged to do so. libcurl will then attempt to re-use the same
connection for the following transfers, thus making the operations faster,
less CPU intense and using less network resources. Just note that you will
have to use \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP between the invokes to set options for
the following curl_easy_perform.
You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the
same \fBeasy_handle\fP. Let the function return first before invoking it
another time. If you want parallel transfers, you must use several curl
easy_handles.
While the \fBeasy_handle\fP is added to a multi handle, it cannot be used by
\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was ok, non-zero means an error occurred as
.I <curl/curl.h>
defines - see \fIlibcurl-errors(3)\fP. If the \fICURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3)\fP was
set with \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP there will be a readable error message in
the error buffer when non-zero is returned.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
