.SH NAME
curl_global_cleanup - global libcurl cleanup
.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function releases resources acquired by \fBcurl_global_init\fP.

You should call \fIcurl_global_cleanup()\fP once for each call you make
to \fIcurl_global_init\fP, after you are done using libcurl.

\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()\fP calls functions of other
libraries that are similarly thread unsafe, it could conflict with any
other thread that uses these other libraries.

See the description in \fBlibcurl\fP(3) of global environment
requirements for details of how to use this function.
