       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE, char *id);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  pointer  to  a null-terminated string as parameter. It will be

       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE, "dynamic");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
