CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3)

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(3). The difference between this option and CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3) 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

PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    /* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)1577833200);
    /* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);
    /* Perform the request */
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
