.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This function should be called once (no matter how many threads or libcurl
|
|
|
|
|
sessions that'll be used) by every application that uses libcurl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this function hasn't been invoked when \fIcurl_easy_init\fP is called, it
|
|
|
|
|
will be done automatically by libcurl.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The flags option should be set to zero. It will be used to tell libcurl what
|
|
|
|
|
specific features it should \fBnot\fP init.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
You must however \fBalways\fP use the \fIcurl_global_cleanup\fP function, as
|
|
|
|
|
that cannot be called automatically for you by libcurl.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
other curl functions.
