- .TH curl_easy_init 3 "4 March 2002" "libcurl 7.8.1" "libcurl Manual"
- .SH NAME
- curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl easy session
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B #include <curl/curl.h>
- .BI "CURL *curl_easy_init( );"
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL easy
- handle that you must use as input to other easy-functions. curl_easy_init
- initializes curl and this call \fBMUST\fP have a corresponding call to
- \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP when the operation is complete.
- If you did not already call \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP,
- \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP does it automatically.
- This may be lethal in multi-threaded cases, since \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP is
- not thread-safe, and it may result in resource problems because there is
- no corresponding cleanup.
- You are strongly advised to not allow this automatic behaviour, by
- calling \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP yourself properly.
- See the description in \fBlibcurl\fP(3) of global environment
- requirements for details of how to use this function.
- .SH RETURN VALUE
- If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
- other curl functions.
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR curl_easy_cleanup "(3), " curl_global_init "(3), " curl_easy_reset "(3)"
