11# NAME
12
13libcurl-env-dbg - environment variables libcurl DEBUGBUILD understands
14
15# DESCRIPTION
16
17This is a set of variables only recognized and used if libcurl was built
18"debug enabled", which should never be true for a library used in production.
19These variables are intended for internal use only, subject to change and have
20many effects on the behavior of libcurl. Refer to the source code to determine
21how exactly they are being used.
22
23## CURL_ALTSVC_HTTP
24
25Bypass the AltSvc HTTPS protocol restriction if this variable exists.
26
27## CURL_DBG_SOCK_RBLOCK
28
29The percentage of recv() calls that should be answered with a EAGAIN at random.
30For TCP/UNIX sockets.
31
32## CURL_DBG_SOCK_RMAX
33
34The maximum data that shall be received from the network in one recv() call.
35For TCP/UNIX sockets. This is applied to every recv.
36
37Example: **CURL_DBG_SOCK_RMAX=400** means recv buffer size is limited to a
38maximum of 400 bytes.
39
40## CURL_DBG_SOCK_WBLOCK
41
42The percentage of send() calls that should be answered with a EAGAIN at random.
43For TCP/UNIX sockets.
44
45## CURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL
46
47The percentage of data that shall be written to the network. For TCP/UNIX
48sockets. This is applied to every send.
49
50Example: **CURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL=80** means a send with 1000 bytes would
51only send 800.
52
53## CURL_DBG_QUIC_WBLOCK
54
55The percentage of send() calls that should be answered with EAGAIN at random.
56QUIC only.
57
58## CURL_DEBUG
59
60Trace logging behavior as an alternative to calling curl_global_trace(3).
61
62Example: **CURL_DEBUG=http/2** means trace details about HTTP/2 handling.
63
64## CURL_DEBUG_SIZE
65
66Fake the size returned by CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE and CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE.
67
68## CURL_GETHOSTNAME
69
70Fake the local machine's unqualified hostname for NTLM and SMTP.
71
72## CURL_HSTS_HTTP
73
74Bypass the HSTS HTTPS protocol restriction if this variable exists.
75
76## CURL_FORCETIME
77
78A time of 0 is used for AWS signatures and NTLM if this variable exists.
79
80## CURL_ENTROPY
81
82A fixed faked value to use instead of a proper random number so that functions
83in libcurl that are otherwise getting random outputs can be tested for what
84they generate.
85
86## CURL_SMALLREQSEND
87
88An alternative size of HTTP data to be sent at a time only if smaller than the
89current.
90
91## CURL_SMALLSENDS
92
93An alternative size of socket data to be sent at a time only if smaller than
94the current.
95
96## CURL_TIME
97
98Fake unix timestamp to use for AltSvc, HSTS and CURLINFO variables that are
99time related.
100
101This variable can also be used to fake the data returned by some CURLINFO
102variables that are not time-related (such as CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT), and in that
103case the value is not a timestamp.
104
105## CURL_TRACE
106
107LDAP tracing is enabled if this variable exists and its value is 1 or greater.
108
109OpenLDAP tracing is separate. Refer to CURL_OPENLDAP_TRACE.
110
111## CURL_NTLM_WB_FILE
112
113Debug-version of the *ntlm-wb* executable.
114
115## CURL_OPENLDAP_TRACE
116
117OpenLDAP tracing is enabled if this variable exists and its value is 1 or
118greater. There is a number of debug levels, refer to *openldap.c* comments.
