NAME
CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP - get local IP address of last connection
SYNOPSIS
#include <
curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP, char **ip);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-terminated
string holding the IP address of the local end of most recent connection done
with this
curl handle. This string may be IPv6 when that is
enabled. Note that you get a pointer to a memory area that will be re-used at
next request so you need to copy the string if you want to keep the
information.
The ip pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT
free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the
corresponding CURL handle.
PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

if((res == CURLE_OK) &&
!curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP, &ip) && ip) {
printf("Local IP: %s\n", ip);
}
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
