Name

CURLINFO_QUEUE_TIME_T - time this transfer was queued

Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>
 
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_QUEUE_TIME_T,
                           curl_off_t *timep);

Description

Pass a pointer to a curl_off_t to receive the time, in microseconds, this transfer was held in a waiting queue before it started "for real". A transfer might be put in a queue if after getting started, it cannot create a new connection etc due to set conditions and limits imposed by the application.

See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo man page.

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(CURLE_OK == res) {
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_QUEUE_TIME_T, &queue);
      if(CURLE_OK == res) {
        printf("Queued: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld us", queue / 1000000,
               (long)(queue % 1000000));
