  CURLOT_VALUES,  /*      (a defined set or bitmask) */

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function returns a pointer to the first or the next \fIcurl_easyoption\fP
struct, providing an ability to iterate over all known options for
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP in this instance of libcurl.

Pass a \fBNULL\fP argument as \fBprev\fP to get the first option returned, or
pass in the current option to get the next one returned. If there is no more
option to return, \fIcurl_easy_option_next(3)\fP returns NULL.

The options returned by this functions are the ones known to this libcurl and
information about what argument type they want.

If the \fBCURLOT_FLAG_ALIAS\fP bit is set in the flags field, it means the
name is provided for backwards compatibility as an alias.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
/* iterate over all available options */
const struct curl_easyoption *opt;
opt = curl_easy_option_by_next(NULL);
while(opt) {
  printf("Name: %s\\n", opt->name);
  opt = curl_easy_option_by_next(opt);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.73.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the \fIcurl_easyoption\fP struct for the next option or NULL if
no more options.
