See the separate man pages for the libcurl functions for details:
curl_easy_init() curl_easy_init()
curl_easy_setopt() curl_easy_setopt()
curl_easy_perform() curl_easy_perform()
curl_easy_cleanup() curl_easy_cleanup()
While the above four functions are the main functions to use in the easy
interface, there is a series of helpful functions to use. They are:
curl_version() - displays the libcurl version
curl_getdate() - converts a date string to time_t
curl_getenv() - portable environment variable reader
curl_formparse() - helps building a HTTP form POST
curl_slist_append() - builds a linked list
curl_slist_free_all() - frees a whole curl_slist
Read the separate man pages for these functions for details!
