.SH NAME
curl_easy_option_next \- iterate over easy setopt options
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

const struct curl_easyoption *
curl_easy_option_next(const struct curl_easyoption *prev);
.fi
.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.
