.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL handle
|
|
|
|
|
that you shall use as input to the other easy-functions. The init calls
|
|
|
|
|
intializes curl and this call MUST have a corresponding call to
|
|
|
|
|
.I curl_easy_cleanup
|
|
|
|
|
when the operation is complete.

|
|
|
|
On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
|
|
|
|
|
not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used accordingly.

.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
|
|
|
|
|
other curl functions.
