                          debug_callback);

DESCRIPTION

CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) replaces the standard debug function used when CURLOPT_VERBOSE(3) is in effect. This callback receives debug information, as specified in the type argument. This function must return 0. The data pointed to by the char * passed to this function WILL NOT be null-terminated, but will be exactly of the size as told by the size argument.

The userptr argument is the pointer set with CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA(3).

Available curl_infotype values:

CURLINFO_TEXT

The data is informational text.

CURLINFO_HEADER_IN

The data is header (or header-like) data received from the peer.

CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT

The data is header (or header-like) data sent to the peer.

CURLINFO_DATA_IN

The data is protocol data received from the peer.

CURLINFO_DATA_OUT

The data is protocol data sent to the peer.

CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT

The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data sent to the peer.

CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN

The data is SSL/TLS (binary) data received from the peer.
