NAME
       curl_easy_option_by_name - find an easy setopt option by name

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_name(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION
       Given  a  name,  this function returns a pointer to the curl_easyoption
       struct, holding information about the curl_easy_setopt(3) option  using
       that  name.  The name should be specified without the "CURLOPT_" prefix
       and the name comparison is made case insensitive.

       If libcurl has no option with the given  name,  this  function  returns
       NULL.

EXAMPLE
       const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_name("URL");
       if(opt) {
         printf("This option wants CURLoption %x\n", (int)opt->id);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       This function was added in libcurl 7.73.0

RETURN VALUE
       A pointer to the curl_easyoption struct for the option or NULL.
