Synopsis

#include <curl/curl.h>

const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_name(const char *name);

Given a name, this function returns a pointer to the curl_easyoption struct, holding information about the curl_easy_setopt(3) option using that name. The name should be specified without the "CURLOPT_" prefix and the name comparison is made case insensitive.

If libcurl has no option with the given name, this function returns NULL.
