.SH NAME
|
|
curl_global_init - Global libcurl initialisation
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function should only 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 is a bit pattern that tells libcurl exact what features to
|
|
init, as described below. Set the desired bits by ORing the values together.
|
|
|
|
You must however \fBalways\fP use the \fIcurl_global_cleanup\fP function, as
|
|
that cannot be called automatically for you by libcurl.
|
|
|
|
Calling this function more than once will cause unpredictable results.
|
|
|
|
This function was added in libcurl 7.8.
