curl_easy_perform(3)
NAME
curl_easy_perform - perform a blocking file transfer
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_perform(CURL *easy_handle);
DESCRIPTION
Invoke this function after curl_easy_init(3) and all the curl_easy_setopt(3) calls are made, and it performs the transfer as described in the options. It must be called with the
same easy_handle as input as the curl_easy_init(3) call returned.
curl_easy_perform(3) performs the entire request in a blocking manner and returns when done, or earlier if it fails. For non-blocking behavior, see curl_multi_perform(3).
You can do any amount of calls to curl_easy_perform(3) while using the same easy_handle. If you intend to transfer more than one file, you are even encouraged to do so. libcurl
will then attempt to re-use the same connection for the following transfers, thus making the operations faster, less CPU intense and using less network resources. Just note that
you will have to use curl_easy_setopt(3) between the invokes to set options for the following curl_easy_perform.
You must never call this function simultaneously from two places using the same easy_handle. Let the function return first before invoking it another time. If you want parallel
transfers, you must use several curl easy_handles.
A network transfer moves data to a peer or from a peer. An application tells libcurl how to receive data by setting the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3) and CURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3) op‐
tions. To tell libcurl what data to send, there are a few more alternatives but two common ones are CURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3) and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS(3).
While the easy_handle is added to a multi handle, it cannot be used by curl_easy_perform(3).
注意,不要把同一个CURL* 并行地交给多个curl_easy_perform()执行。
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred as <curl/curl.h> defines - see libcurl-errors(3). If the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) was set with curl_easy_se‐
topt(3) there will be a readable error message in the error buffer when non-zero is returned.
