# libcurl examples
|
|
|
|
This directory is for libcurl programming examples. They are meant to show
|
|
some simple steps on how you can build your own application to take full
|
|
advantage of libcurl.
|
|
|
|
If you end up with other small but still useful example sources, please mail
|
|
them for submission in future packages and on the website.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
The Makefile.example is an example makefile that could be used to build these
|
|
examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements first.
|
|
|
|
Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
|
|
|
|
`curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
|
|
|
|
Some compilers don't like having the arguments in this order but instead
|
|
want you do reorganize them like:
|
|
|
|
`curl-config --cc` -o example example.c `curl-config --cflags --libs`
|
|
|
|
**Please** do not use the `curl.se` site as a test target for your
|
|
libcurl applications/experiments. Even if some of the examples use that site
|
|
as a URL at some places, it doesn't mean that the URLs work or that we expect
|
|
you to actually torture our website with your tests! Thanks.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Each example source code file is designed to be and work stand-alone and
|
|
rather self-explanatory. The examples may at times lack the level of error
|
|
checks you need in a real world, but that is then only for the sake of
|
|
readability: to make the code smaller and easier to follow.
