You need to dereference the pointer(s) to whatever final value you want.
Eg: if you have a Curl_easy *p pointer properly initialized:

if(p->cookies) {
  printf(" cookie filename: %s\n", p->cookies->filename);
}

Will print out the string rep of (presumably) the file holding cookies for
this easy session. Note that we test that "cookies" is set at all before we
try to deference ("if(p->cookies)"), because of you try to deference a NULL
pointer (or indeed any "garbage" value), you will have problems.

You can find out what you need by reading up on pointers, memory allocation
(malloc() and free()), structures, and pointer arithmetic.

Note to - my example was of the top of my head, and curl has a tremendous
amount of introspective accessor functions purpose-built to retrieve
information; your use case my already be expertly solved in the project.
