    31. 

  31. This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL easy

  32. handle that you must use as input to other easy-functions. curl_easy_init
    33. 

  33. initializes curl and this call \fBMUST\fP have a corresponding call to
    34. 

  34. \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP when the operation is complete.
    35. 

  35. 

  36. If you did not already call \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP,
    37. 

  37. \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP does it automatically.
    38. 

  38. This may be lethal in multi-threaded cases, since \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP is
    39. 

  39. not thread-safe, and it may result in resource problems because there is
    40. 

  40. no corresponding cleanup.
    41. 

  41. 

  42. You are strongly advised to not allow this automatic behaviour, by
    43. 

  43. calling \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP yourself properly.
