The default value of this parameter is NULL.

struct priv {

void *custom; }; static int closesocket(void *clientp, curl_socket_t item) {
struct priv *my = clientp;
printf("our ptr: %p\n", my->custom);
printf("libcurl wants to close %d now\n", (int)item);
return 0; } int main(void) {
struct priv myown;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
/* call this function to close sockets */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION, closesocket);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETDATA, &myown);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl); }
