.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 easy-functions. curl_easy_init
|
|
initializes curl and 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, it will be done
|
|
automatically with a default setup when you call \fIcurl_easy_init(3)\fP.
|
|
This may be lethal in multi-threaded cases, since \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP is
|
|
not thread-safe and must not be called more than once (or from more than one
|
|
thread). You are strongly adviced to not rely on this automatic behaviour, but
|
|
call \fIcurl_global_init(3)\fP yourself properly.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
|
|
other curl functions.
