.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2004-02-27 10:34:06 -05:00
|
|
|
curl_free reclaims memory that has been obtained through a libcurl call. Use
|
2014-10-21 04:26:40 -04:00
|
|
|
\fIcurl_free(3)\fP instead of free() to avoid anomalies that can result from
|
2004-02-27 10:34:06 -05:00
|
|
|
differences in memory management between your application and libcurl.
|
2018-08-09 10:37:39 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Passing in a NULL pointer in \fIptr\fP will make this function return
|
|
|
|
immediately with no action.
