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 in some places  in  the  documentation.
       This  init  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(3)  option  with
       curl_easy_setopt(3), to make that specific curl handle use the data in this share.

EXAMPLE

         CURLSHcode sh;
         share = curl_share_init();
         sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_CONNECT);
         if(sh)
           printf("Error: %s\n", curl_share_strerror(sh));

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE

       If  this  function returns NULL, something went wrong (out of memory, etc.)  and therefore
       the share object was not created.
