NAME

curl_ share _init – Create a shared object

SYNOPSIS

• #include <curl/curl .h>
• CURLSH *curl _share _init( );

DESCRIPTION

• This function returns a CURLSH handle to be used as input to all the other share-functions, sometimes referred to as a share handle on some places in the documentation. This infit call MUST have a corresponding call to curl_ share_ cleanup when all operations using the share are complete.
• This share handle is what you pass to curl using the CURLOPT_SHARE option with curl _easy _set opt(3), to make that specific curl handle use the data in this share.

RETURN VALUE

• If this function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.) and therefore the share object was not created.
• SEE ALSO curl _share_ cleanup(3), curl _share _setopt(3)
