18# NAME
19
20CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP - get local IP address of last connection
21
22# SYNOPSIS
23
24~~~c
25#include <curl/curl.h>
26
27CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP, char **ip);
28~~~
29
30# DESCRIPTION
31
32Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-terminated
33string holding the IP address of the local end of most recent connection done
34with this **curl** handle. This string may be IPv6 when that is enabled. Note
35that you get a pointer to a memory area that is reused at next request so you
36need to copy the string if you want to keep the information.
37
38The **ip** pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free - it
39gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL
40handle.
