.TH CURLOPT_CURLU 3 "28 Oct 2018" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CURLU \- URL in URL handle format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, CURLU *pointer);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the \fIURL\fP handle to work with. The parameter should
be a \fICURLU *\fP. Setting \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP explicitly overrides
\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP.

\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_CURLU(3)\fP \fBmust\fP be set before a
transfer is started.

libcurl uses this handle and its contents read-only and does not change its
contents. An application can update the contents of the URL handle after a
transfer is done and if the same handle is used in a subsequent request the
updated contents is used.
.SH DEFAULT
The default value of this parameter is NULL.
.SH PROTOCOLS
All

.nf
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

    ret = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
