NAME

       curl_formfree - free a previously build multipart form post chain

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       void curl_formfree(struct curl_httppost *form);

DESCRIPTION

       This function is deprecated. Do not use. See curl_mime_init(3) instead!

       curl_formfree()  is  used  to  clean up data previously built/appended with curl_formadd(3). This must be
       called when the data has been used, which typically means after curl_easy_perform(3) has been called.

       The pointer to free is the same pointer you passed  to  the  CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(3)  option,  which  is  the
       firstitem pointer from the curl_formadd(3) invoke(s).

       form is the pointer as returned from a previous call to curl_formadd(3) and may be NULL.

       Passing in a NULL pointer in form makes this function return immediately with no action.

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           struct curl_httppost *formpost;
           struct curl_httppost *lastptr;

           /* Fill in a file upload field */
           curl_formadd(&formpost,
                        &lastptr,
                        CURLFORM_COPYNAME, "file",
                        CURLFORM_FILE, "nice-image.jpg",
                        CURLFORM_END);

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, formpost);

           curl_easy_perform(curl);

           /* then cleanup the formpost chain */
           curl_formfree(formpost);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Deprecated in 7.56.0.
