NAME

       CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE - global DNS cache

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE,
                                 long enable);

DESCRIPTION

       Has no function since 7.62.0. Do not use!

       Pass  a  long. If the enable value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS cache that will
       survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is not thread-safe and this will
       use a global variable.

       WARNING: this option is considered obsolete. Stop using it. Switch over to using the share
       interface instead! See CURLOPT_SHARE(3) and curl_share_init(3).

         /* switch off the use of a global, thread unsafe, cache */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, 0L);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
