.TH curl_easy_init 3 "26 September 2000" "Curl 7.0" "libcurl Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_easy_init - Start a libcurl "easy" session
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/easy.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "CURL *curl_easy_init( );"
|
|
.ad
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function must be the first function to call, and it returns a CURL handle
|
|
that you shall use as input to the other easy-functions. The init calls
|
|
intializes curl and this call MUST have a corresponding call to
|
|
.I curl_easy_cleanup
|
|
when the operation is complete.
|
|
|
|
On win32 systems, you need to init the winsock stuff manually, libcurl will
|
|
not do that for you. WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() should be used accordingly.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
If this function returns NULL, something went wrong and you cannot use the
|
|
other curl functions.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
.BR curl_easy_cleanup "(3), "
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Surely there are some, you tell me!
