curl_mime_name - set a mime part's name

Added in curl 7.56.0

curl_mime_name(3) sets a mime part's name. This is the way HTTP form fields are named. part is the part's handle to assign a name to. name points to the null-terminated name string. The name string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's name multiple times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained. It is possible to reset the name of a part by setting name to NULL.

int main(void) { curl_mime *mime; curl_mimepart *part; CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { /* create a mime handle */ mime = curl_mime_init(curl); /* add a part */ part = curl_mime_addpart(mime); /* give the part a name */ curl_mime_name(part, "shoe_size"); } }

This functionality affects http, imap and smtp

This function returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3). If CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) was set with curl_easy_setopt(3) there can be an error message stored in the error buffer when non-zero is returned.
