+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Given a **name**, this function returns a pointer to the
+*curl_easyoption* struct, holding information about the

+insensitive.
+
+If libcurl has no option with the given name, this function returns NULL.

+  const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_name("URL");
+  if(opt) {

+  }
+}
+~~~
+
