This callback function gets called by libcurl as soon as it has received interleaved RTP data. This function gets called for each $ block and therefore contains exactly one upper-layer protocol unit (e.g. one RTP packet). Curl writes the interleaved header as well as the included data for each call. The first byte is always an ASCII dol- lar sign. The dollar sign is followed by a one byte channel identifier and then a 2 byte integer length in network byte order. See RFC2326 Section 10.12 for more information on how RTP interleaving behaves. If unset or set to NULL, curl will use the default write function. Interleaved RTP poses some challenges for the client application. Since the stream data is sharing the RTSP control connection, it is critical to service the RTP in a timely fashion. If the RTP data is not handled quickly, subsequent response processing may become unreasonably delayed and the connection may close. The application may use CURL_RTSPREQ_RECEIVE to service RTP data when no requests are desired. If the application makes a request, (e.g. CURL_RTSPREQ_PAUSE) then the response handler will process any pending RTP data before marking the request as finished. The CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEDATA(3) is passed in the userdata argument in the callback. DEFAULT NULL, the interleave data is then passed to the regular write function: CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3). PROTOCOLS RTSP EXAMPLE static size_t rtp_write(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *user) { struct local *l = (struct local *)user; /* take care of the packet in 'ptr', then return... */ return size * nmemb; } { struct local rtp_data; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEFUNCTION, rtp_write); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEDATA, &rtp_data); } AVAILABILITY Added in 7.20.0 RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
