.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_id(CURLoption id);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Given a \fICURLoption\fP \fBid\fP, this function returns a pointer to the
\fIcurl_easyoption\fP struct, holding information about the
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP option using that id. The option id is the CURLOPT_
prefix ones provided in the standard curl/curl.h header file. This function
will return the non-aliases version for the cases where there is an alias
function as well.

If libcurl has no option with the given id, this function returns NULL.
.SH EXAMPLE

const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_id(CURLOPT_URL);
if(opt) {
  printf("This option wants type %x\\n", opt->type);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY

.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the \fIcurl_easyoption\fP struct for the option or NULL.
