CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME(3) curl_easy_getinfo options CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME(3)

CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME - get the time until the file transfer start

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

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the time, in seconds, it took from the start until the file transfer is just about to begin.

This time-stamp includes all pre-transfer commands and negotiations that are specific to the particular protocol(s) involved. It includes the sending of the protocol- specific protocol instructions that triggers a transfer.

When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.

See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.
