.SH NAME
curl_mime_subparts \- set sub\-parts of a multipart mime part
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_mime_subparts(curl_mimepart *part, curl_mime *subparts);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcurl_mime_subparts(3)\fP sets a multipart mime part\(aqs content from a mime
structure.

\fIpart\fP is a handle to the multipart part.

\fIsubparts\fP is a mime structure handle holding the sub\-parts. After
\fIcurl_mime_subparts(3)\fP succeeds, the mime structure handle belongs to the
multipart part and must not be freed explicitly. It may however be updated by
subsequent calls to mime API functions.

Setting a part\(aqs contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the
last call is retained. It is possible to unassign previous part\(aqs contents by
setting \fIsubparts\fP to NULL.
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP, IMAP and SMTP
