NAME

CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT - latest local port number

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT, long *portp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a long to receive the local port number of the most recent connection done with this curl handle.

If the connection was done using QUIC, the port number is a UDP port number, otherwise it is a TCP port number.

If no connection was established or if the protocol does not use ports, -1 is returned.

    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(CURLE_OK == result) {
      long port;
      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT, &port);

      if(CURLE_OK == result) {
        printf("We used local port: %ld\n", port);
      }
