CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE(3)

CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE - time value for conditional

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, long val);

Pass a long val as parameter. This should be the time counted as seconds since 1 Jan 1970, and the time is used in a condition as specified with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3).

On systems with 32 bit 'long' variables (such as Windows), this option cannot set dates beyond the year 2038. Consider CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE(3) instead.
