Expand a little. - mention the type name of the return code - avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that varies over time, builds and conditions - avoid stating some always return OK - refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes Closes #15900

# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_USERAGENT - HTTP user-agent header
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, char *ua);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used to set the
|
|
User-Agent: header field in the HTTP request sent to the remote server. You
|
|
can also set any custom header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3).
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
|
|
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
|
|
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
|
|
|
NULL, no User-Agent: header is used.
|
|
|

|
# EXAMPLE

|

int main(void)
|

{

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
