# NAME

CURLOPT_VERBOSE - verbose mode

# SYNOPSIS

~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, long onoff);
~~~

# DESCRIPTION

Set the *onoff* parameter to 1 to make the library display a lot of
verbose information about its operations on this *handle*. Useful for
libcurl and/or protocol debugging and understanding. The verbose information
is sent to stderr, or the stream set with CURLOPT_STDERR(3).

You hardly ever want this enabled in production use, you almost always want
this used when you debug/report problems.

To also get all the protocol data sent and received, consider using the
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3).

# DEFAULT

0, meaning disabled.

# PROTOCOLS

All

# EXAMPLE

~~~c
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* ask libcurl to show us the verbose output */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);

    /* Perform the request */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}
~~~

# AVAILABILITY

Always

# RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK
