25 CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS \- get number of created connections
27 #include <curl/curl.h>
29 CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, long *nump);
31 Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to
32 create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are
33 counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT(3)\fP you are able to know
34 how many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See
35 the connection options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries
36 to make persistent connections to save time.
44 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
