Daniel Gustafsson 8d67c61c47 curldown: Fix email address in Copyright
The curldown conversion accidentally replaced daniel@haxx.se with
just daniel.se.  This reverts back to the proper email address in
the curldown docs as well as in a few other stray places where it
was incorrect (while unrelated to curldown).

NAME

CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE - interface to speak DNS over

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE, char *ifname);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter. Set the name of the network interface that the DNS resolver should bind to. This must be an interface name (not an address). Set this option to NULL to use the default setting (do not bind to a specific interface).

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

NULL

PROTOCOLS

All protocols except file:// - protocols that resolve hostnames.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE, "eth0");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.33.0. This option also requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if support was disabled at compile-time.
