CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE explained

Name

CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE - time value for conditional

Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>
 
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE,
                          curl_off_t val);

Description

Pass a curl_off_t val as parameter. This should be the time counted as seconds since 1 Jan 1970, and the time is used in a condition as specified with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION.

The difference between this option and CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE is the type of the argument. On systems where 'long' is only 32 bits wide, this option has to be used to set dates beyond the year 2038.

Default

0

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)1577833200);
