.SH DESCRIPTION
curl_slist_append() appends a specified string to a linked list of
strings. The existing \fIlist\fP should be passed as the first argument while
the new list is returned from this function. The specified \fIstring\fP has
been appended when this function returns. curl_slist_append() copies the
string.
\fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP appends a string to a linked list of strings. The
existing \fBlist\fP should be passed as the first argument and the new list is
returned from this function. Pass in NULL in the \fBlist\fP argument to create
a new list. The specified \fBstring\fP has been appended when this function
returns. \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP copies the string.
The list should be freed again (after usage) with
\fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP.
