.SH NAME
CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS \- get number of created connections
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, long *nump);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive how many new connections libcurl had to
create to achieve the previous transfer (only the successful connects are
counted). Combined with \fICURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT(3)\fP you are able to know how
many times libcurl successfully reused existing connection(s) or not. See the
connection options of \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP to see how libcurl tries to make
persistent connections to save time.
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
long connects;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS, &connects);
if(!res)
printf("It needed %ld connects\\n", connects);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
