- .SH NAME
- curl_easy_pause - pause and unpause a connection
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B #include <curl/curl.h>
- .BI "CURLcode curl_easy_pause(CURL *"handle ", int "bitmask " );"
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- Using this function, you can explicitly mark a running connection to get
- paused, and you can unpause a connection that was previously paused.
- A connection can be paused by using this function or by letting the read
- or the write callbacks return the proper magic return code
- (fICURL_READFUNC_PAUSEfP and fICURL_WRITEFUNC_PAUSEfP). A write callback
- that returns pause signals to the library that it couldn't take care of any
- data at all, and that data will then be delivered again to the callback when
- the writing is later unpaused.
- NOTE: while it may feel tempting, take care and notice that you cannot call
- this function from another thread.
- When this function is called to unpause reading, the chance is high that you
- will get your write callback called before this function returns.
- The fBhandlefP argument is of course identifying the handle that operates on
- the connection you want to pause or unpause.
- The fBbitmaskfP argument is a set of bits that sets the new state of the
- connection. The following bits can be used:
- .IP CURLPAUSE_RECV
- Pause receiving data. There will be no data received on this connection until
- this function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the write callback
- (fICURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTIONfP) won't be called.
- .IP CURLPAUSE_SEND
- Pause sending data. There will be no data sent on this connection until this
- function is called again without this bit set. Thus, the read callback
- (fICURLOPT_READFUNCTIONfP) won't be called.
- .IP CURLPAUSE_ALL
- Convenience define that pauses both directions.
- .IP CURLPAUSE_CONT
- Convenience define that unpauses both directions
- .SH RETURN VALUE
- CURLE_OK (zero) means that the option was set properly, and a non-zero return
- code means something wrong occurred after the new state was set. See the
- fIlibcurl-errors(3)fP man page for the full list with descriptions.
- .SH AVAILABILITY
- This function was added in libcurl 7.18.0. Before this version, there was no
- explicit support for pausing transfers.
- .SH "MEMORY USE"
- When pausing a read by returning the magic return code from a write callback,
- the read data is already in libcurl's internal buffers so it'll have to keep
- it in an allocated buffer until the reading is again unpaused using this
- function.
- If the downloaded data is compressed and is asked to get uncompressed
- automatically on download, libcurl will continue to uncompress the entire
- downloaded chunk and it will cache the data uncompressed. This has the side-
- effect that if you download something that is compressed a lot, it can result
- in a very large data amount needing to be allocated to save the data during
- the pause. This said, you should probably consider not using paused reading if
- you allow libcurl to uncompress data automatically.
