# CURLINFO\_REDIRECT\_TIME\_T(3)

time for all redirection steps

## NAME

CURLINFO\_REDIRECT\_TIME\_T - time for all redirection steps

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T,
                           curl_off_t *timep);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a curl\_off\_t to receive the total time, in microseconds, it took for all redirection steps include name lookup, connect, pretransfer and transfer before final transaction was started. *[CURLINFO\_REDIRECT\_TIME\_T(3)](/CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T/3.md)* holds the complete execution time for multiple redirections.

See also the TIMES overview in the *[curl\_easy\_getinfo(3)](/curl_easy_getinfo/3.md)* man page.

## PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects http only

## EXAMPLE

```
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_off_t redirect;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T, &redirect);
      if(result == CURLE_OK) {
        printf("Time: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T ".%06ld", redirect / 1000000,
               (long)(redirect % 1000000));
      }
    }
    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
```

## AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.61.0

## RETURN VALUE

*[curl\_easy\_getinfo(3)](/curl_easy_getinfo/3.md)* returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE\_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see *[libcurl-errors(3)](/libcurl-errors/3.md)*.
