Library Symbols
===============
All symbols used internally in libcurl must use a `Curl_` prefix if they are
used in more than a single file. Single-file symbols must be made static.
Public ("exported") symbols must use a `curl_` prefix. (There are exceptions,
but they are to be changed to follow this pattern in future versions.) Public
API functions are marked with `CURL_EXTERN` in the public header files so
that all others can be hidden on platforms where this is possible.
