-.TH CURLOPT_WRITEDATA 3 "16 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
-.SH NAME
-CURLOPT_WRITEDATA \- pointer passed to the write callback
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-#include <curl/curl.h>
-
-CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, void *pointer);
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-A data \fIpointer\fP to pass to the write callback. If you use the
-\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP option, this is the pointer you get in that
-callback's fourth and last argument. If you do not use a write callback, you
-must make \fIpointer\fP a 'FILE *' (cast to 'void *') as libcurl passes this
-to \fIfwrite(3)\fP when writing data.
-
-The internal \fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP writes the data to the FILE *
-given with this option, or to stdout if this option has not been set.
-
-If you are using libcurl as a Windows DLL, you \fBMUST\fP use a
-\fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3)\fP if you set this option or you might experience
-crashes.
-.SH DEFAULT
-By default, this is a FILE * to stdout.
-.SH PROTOCOLS
-Used for all protocols.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-A common technique is to use the write callback to store the incoming data
-into a dynamically growing allocated buffer, and then this
-\fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP is used to point to a struct or the buffer to store
-data in. Like in the getinmemory example:
-https://curl.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-Available in all libcurl versions. This option was formerly known as
-CURLOPT_FILE, the name \fICURLOPT_WRITEDATA(3)\fP was added in 7.9.7.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-This returns CURLE_OK.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"

-.BR CURLOPT_HEADERDATA (3),
