.TH CURLOPT_READDATA 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_READDATA \- custom pointer passed to the read callback
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_READDATA, void *pointer);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the file read function. If you use the
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you'll get as
input in the 4th argument to the callback.

If you don't specify a read callback but instead rely on the default internal
read function, this data must be a valid readable FILE * (cast to 'void *').

If you're using libcurl as a win32 DLL, you MUST use a
\fICURLOPT_READFUNCTION(3)\fP if you set this option.
.SH DEFAULT
By default, this is a FILE * to stdin.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This is used for all protocols when sending data.
.SH EXAMPLE
TODO
.SH AVAILABILITY
This option was once known by the older name \fICURLOPT_INFILE\fP, the name
\fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP was introduced in 7.9.7.
.SH RETURN VALUE
This will return CURLE_OK.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
