14# NAME
15
16CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO - get errno number from last connect failure
17
18# SYNOPSIS
19
20~~~c
21#include <curl/curl.h>
22
23CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, long *errnop);
24~~~
25
26# DESCRIPTION
27
28Pass a pointer to a long to receive the errno variable from a connect failure.
29Note that the value is only set on failure, it is not reset upon a successful
30operation. The number is OS and system specific.
31
32libcurl network-related errors that may have a saved errno are:
33CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT, CURLE_FAILED_INIT, CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED,
34CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT, CURLE_RECV_ERROR, CURLE_SEND_ERROR.
35
36Since 8.8.0 libcurl clears the easy handle's saved errno before performing the
37transfer. Prior versions did not clear the saved errno, which means if a saved
38errno is retrieved it could be from a previous transfer on the same handle.

40# EXAMPLE
41
42~~~c
43int main(void)
44{
45  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
46  if(curl) {
47    CURLcode res;
48    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
49    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
50    if(res != CURLE_OK) {
51      long error;
52      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO, &error);
53      if(!res && error) {
54        printf("Errno: %ld\n", error);
55      }
56    }
57    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
58  }
