.TH CURLOPT_VERBOSE 3 "16 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"

.SH NAME

CURLOPT_VERBOSE \- set verbose mode on/off

.SH SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, long onoff);

.SH DESCRIPTION

Set the \fIonoff\fP parameter to 1 to make the library display a lot of

verbose information about its operations on this \fIhandle\fP. Very useful for

libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information

will be sent to stderr, or the stream set with \fICURLOPT_STDERR(3)\fP. The

default value for this parameter is 0, meaning disabled.

You hardly ever want this set in production use, you will almost always want

this when you debug/report problems.

To also get all the protocol data sent and received, consider using the

\fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP.
