CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER

Default, resolves addresses to all IP versions that your system allows.

CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4

Resolve to IPv4 addresses.

CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6

Resolve to IPv6 addresses.

CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER

All

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");

  /* resolve host name using IPv6-names only */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6);

  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

Always

Returns CURLE_OK
