curl_url(3) Library Functions Manual curl_url(3)

curl_url - returns a new URL handle

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLU *curl_url();

This function allocates a URL object and returns a CURLU handle for it, to be used as input to all other URL API functions.

This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a single URL. When the object is first created, there is of course no components stored. They are then set in the object with the curl_url_set(3) function.

int main(void)
{

CURLUcode rc;
CURLU *url = curl_url();
rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
if(!rc) {
char *scheme;
rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
if(!rc) {
printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
curl_free(scheme);
}
curl_url_cleanup(url);
} }

Added in 7.62.0
