.TH curl_global_cleanup 3 "17 Feb 2006" "libcurl 7.8" "libcurl Manual"
.SH NAME
curl_global_cleanup - global libcurl cleanup
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
.sp
.BI "void curl_global_cleanup(void);"
.ad
.SH DESCRIPTION
2006-02-17 08:31:49 -05:00
This function releases resources acquired by \fBcurl_global_init(3)\fP.
2006-02-17 08:31:49 -05:00
You should call \fIcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP once for each call you make to
\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP, after you are done using libcurl.
2006-02-17 08:31:49 -05:00
\fBThis function is not thread safe.\fP You must not call it when any other
thread in the program (i.e. a thread sharing the same memory) is running.
This doesn't just mean no other thread that is using libcurl. Because
\fBcurl_global_cleanup(3)\fP calls functions of other libraries that are
similarly thread unsafe, it could conflict with any other thread that uses
these other libraries.
2006-02-17 08:31:49 -05:00
See the description in \fBlibcurl(3)\fP of global environment requirements for
details of how to use this function.
