.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_data(curl_mimepart * " part ", const char * " data

.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_data() sets a mime part's body content from memory data.
\fIdata\fP points to the data bytes: those are copied to the part and their
storage may safely be reused after call.
\fIdatasize\fP is the number of data bytes: it can be set to -1 to indicate
\fIdata\fP is a nul-terminated character string.
\fIpart\fP is the part's to assign contents to.
Setting a part's contents twice is valid: only the value set by the last call
is retained. It is possible to unassign part's contents by setting
\fIdata\fP to NULL.
Setting very large data is memory consuming: one might consider using
\fIcurl_mime_data_cb\fP() in such a case.

.SH NAME
curl_mime_data_cb - set a callback-based data source for a mime part's body
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
size_t readfunc(char *buffer, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *arg);

.br
.BI " curl_free_callback " freefunc ", void * " arg ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_data_cb() sets the data source of a mime part's body content from
a data read callback function.
\fIpart\fP is the part's to assign contents to.
\fIreadfunc\fP is a pointer to a data read callback function, with a
signature as shown by the above prototype. It may not be set to NULL.
\fIseekfunc\fP is a pointer to a seek callback function, with a
signature as shown by the above prototype. This function will be used upon
resending data (i.e.: after a redirect); this pointer may be set to NULL,
in which case a resend is not possible.
\fIfreefunc\fP is a pointer to a user resource freeing callback function, with
a signature as shown by the above prototype. If no resource is to be freed,
it may safely be set to NULL. This function will be called upon mime
structure freeing.
\fIarg\fP is a user defined argument to callback functions.
The read callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as it needs to
read data in order to send it to the peer - like if you ask it to upload or
post data to the server. The data area pointed at by the pointer \fIbuffer\fP
should be filled up with at most \fIsize\fP multiplied with \fInmemb\fP number
of bytes by your function.
Your read function must then return the actual number of bytes that it stored
in that memory area. Returning 0 will signal end-of-file to the library and
cause it to stop the current transfer.
If you stop the current transfer by returning 0 "pre-maturely" (i.e before the
server expected it, like when you've said you will upload N bytes and you
upload less than N bytes), you may experience that the server "hangs" waiting
for the rest of the data that won't come.
The read callback may return \fICURL_READFUNC_ABORT\fP to stop the current
operation immediately, resulting in a \fICURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK\fP error
code from the transfer.
The callback can return \fICURL_READFUNC_PAUSE\fP to cause reading from this
connection to pause. See \fIcurl_easy_pause(3)\fP for further details.
The seek function gets called by libcurl to rewind input stream data or to
seek to a certain position. The function shall work like fseek(3) or lseek(3)
and it gets SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END as argument for \fIorigin\fP,
although libcurl currently only passes SEEK_SET.
The callback function must return \fICURL_SEEKFUNC_OK\fP on success,
\fICURL_SEEKFUNC_FAIL\fP to cause the upload operation to fail or
\fICURL_SEEKFUNC_CANTSEEK\fP to indicate that while the seek failed, libcurl
is free to work around the problem if possible. The latter can sometimes be
done by instead reading from the input or similar.
.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
.SH EXAMPLE
Sending a huge data string will cause the same amount of memory to be
allocated: to avoid overhead resources consumption, one might want to use a
callback source to avoid data duplication. In this case, original data
must be retained until after the transfer terminates.
.nf
char hugedata[512000];
struct ctl {
char *buffer;
curl_off_t size;
curl_off_t position;
};
size_t read_callback(char *buffer, size_t size, size_t nitems, void *arg)
{
struct ctl *p = (struct ctl *) arg;
curl_off_t sz = p->size - p->position;
nitems *= size;
if(sz > nitems)
sz = nitems;
if(sz)
memcpy(buffer, p->buffer + p->position, sz);
p->position += sz;
return sz;
}
int seek_callback(void *arg, curl_off_t offset, int origin)
{
struct ctl *p = (struct ctl *) arg;
switch(origin) {
case SEEK_END:
offset += p->size;
break;
case SEEK_CUR:
offset += p->position;
break;
}
if(offset < 0)
return CURL_SEEKFUNC_FAIL;
p->position = offset;
return CURL_SEEKFUNC_OK;
}
CURL *easy = curl_easy_init();
curl_mime *mime = curl_mime_init(easy);
curl_mimepart *part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
struct ctl hugectl;
hugectl.buffer = hugedata;
hugectl.size = sizeof hugedata;
hugectl.position = 0;

.TH curl_mime_init 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_init - create a mime handle
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "curl_mime * curl_mime_init(CURL * " easy_handle ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_init() creates a handle to a new empty mime structure intended to be
used with \fIeasy_handle\fP. This mime structure can be subsequently filled
using the mime API, then attached to \fIeasy_handle\fP using option
\fICURLOPT_MIMEPOST\fP within a \fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP() call.
Using a mime handle is the recommended way to post an HTTP form, format and
send a multi-part e-mail with SMTP or upload such an e-mail to an IMAP server.
.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
A mime struct handle, or NULL upon failure.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *easy = curl_easy_init();
struct curl_mime *mime;
struct mimepart *part;
/* Build an HTTP form with a single field named "data", */
mime = curl_mime_init(easy);
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
curl_mime_data(part, "This is the field data", -1);
curl_mime_name(part, "data", -1);
/* Post and send it. */
curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime);
curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
curl_easy_perform(easy);
/* Clean-up. */
curl_easy_cleanup(easy);
curl_mime_free(mime);

.TH curl_mime_name 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_name - set a mime part's name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_name(curl_mimepart * " part ", const char * " name
.BI ", ssize_t " namesize ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_name() sets a mime part's name. This is the way HTTP form fields are
named.
\fIname\fP points to the name byte string; the string may contain nul bytes
unless \fInamesize\fP is -1.
\fInamesize\fP is the name length: it can be set to -1 to indicate
\fIname\fP is a nul-terminated string.
\fIpart\fP is the part's handle to assign a name to.
The name string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may safely
be released or reused after call. Setting a part's name twice is valid:
only the value set by the last call is retained. It is possible to "unname"
a part by setting \fIname\fP to NULL.
.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.

.TH curl_mime_subparts 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_subparts - set subparts of a multipart mime part
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_subparts(curl_mimepart * " part ,
.BI "curl_mime * " subparts ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_subparts() sets a multipart mime part's content from a mime
structure.
\fIpart\fP is a handle to the multipart part.
\fIsubparts\fP is a mime structure handle holding the subparts. After
\fIcurl_mime_subparts\fP succeeds, the mime structure handle belongs to the
multipart part and must not be freed explicitly. It may however be updated
by subsequent calls to mime API functions.
Setting a part's contents twice is valid: only the value set by the last call
is retained. It is possible to unassign previous part's contents by setting
\fIsubparts\fP to NULL.
.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.

.TH curl_mime_type 3 "22 August 2017" "libcurl 7.56.0" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_mime_type - set a mime part's content type
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "CURLcode curl_mime_type(curl_mimepart * " part ,
.BI "const char * " mimetype ");"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_type() sets a mime part's content type.
\fIpart\fP is the part's handle to assign the content type to.
\fImimetype\fP points to the nul-terminated file mime type string; it may be
set to NULL to remove a previously attached mime type.
The mime type string is copied into the part, thus the associated
storage may safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's type
twice is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained.
In the absence of a mime type and if needed by the protocol specifications,
a default mime type is determined by the context:
.br
- If set as a custom header, use this value.
.br
- application/form-data for a HTTP form post.
.br
- If a remote file name is set, the mime type is taken from the file name
extension, or application/octet-stream by default.
.br
- For a multipart part, multipart/mixed.
.br
- text/plain in other cases.
.SH AVAILABILITY
As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
