.TH curl_easy_init 3 "4 March 2002" "libcurl 7.8.1" "libcurl Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl easy session
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
.BI "CURL *curl_easy_init( );"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL easy
|
|
handle that you must use as input to other functions in the easy
|
|
interface. This call \fBMUST\fP have a corresponding call to
|
|
\fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP when the operation is complete.
|
|
|
|
If you did not already call \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP, \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP
|
|
does it automatically. This may be lethal in multi-threaded cases, since
|
|
\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP is not thread-safe, and it may result in resource
|
|
problems because there is no corresponding cleanup.
|
|
|
|
You are strongly advised to not allow this automatic behaviour, by calling
|
|
\fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP yourself properly. See the description in
|
|
\fBlibcurl\fP(3) of global environment requirements for details of how to use
|
|
this function.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
|
|
other curl functions.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
CURLcode res;
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");
|
|
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
